BA in Art History/French Studies (Honors) in Newark United States | University of Delaware

Art History provides students with analytical perspectives on how artistic and cultural expressions have evolved throughout history and around the globe. We enhance students' visual literacy, refine their writing skills, and ignite their creativity through encounters with artworks, artifacts, and architectural wonders that have inspired devotion, fueled revolutions, brought joy, or provoked controversy. Nearby institutions like the UD Library, Museums and Press frequently serve as hands-on learning spaces where students cultivate their expertise as art critics and museum professionals. Our curriculum covers diverse artistic traditions including American (encompassing Native American, African American, and Latin American), European, African, Asian, and Islamic art, material culture, and architecture. Students can pursue interdisciplinary programs combining Art History with fields like Art Conservation, Anthropology, English, History, and various Languages, Literatures & Cultures. By exploring humanity's creative legacy, we inspire students to develop global perspectives.

Our department features dynamic courses in French and Francophone literature, culture, history, theater, business, and film. Additionally, study abroad programs allow students to explore subjects like political science, fine arts, economics, fashion design, photography, tourism, and culinary arts. This comprehensive education equips students with the skills to excel in diverse professional fields within the language of international diplomacy.
