BA in Art History/Russian 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 proficiency, 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 skills as art critics and curators. Our curriculum covers diverse artistic traditions, including American (encompassing Native American, African American, and Latin American), European, African, Asian, and Islamic art, along with material culture and architectural studies. Numerous dual-degree and interdisciplinary options are available, allowing students to combine their interests with fields like Art Conservation, Anthropology, English, History, and various Languages, Literatures & Cultures. By exploring humanity's creative legacy, we prepare students to engage as global citizens.

The UD Russian Studies Program introduces students to pivotal moments in Russia's extensive history and the distinctive, impactful culture of Russian-speaking peoples. Soviet-era claims of being the world's most literate nation weren't baseless—even today, literature maintains profound importance in Russian culture. Our program utilizes renowned Russian literary masterpieces alongside other media forms—films, television programs, music, social media, news reports, and academic writings—to strengthen students' communication abilities and cultural understanding.
