BA in Art - Art History in Pullman United States | Washington State University

These programs provide classes and practical creative experiences that push you to approach problems and express ideas in fresh, cross-disciplinary methods. You'll cultivate your unique perspective by exploring different techniques and self-evaluation, while gaining the assurance and abilities to communicate effectively across diverse situations. The Bachelor of Arts in Art degree allows for adaptable interdisciplinary combinations within a comprehensive liberal arts framework. Two focus areas are offered:
Studio, Art History: equips you with the tools to thoughtfully and creatively interact with art and visual culture.
In the studio track, you'll choose a concentration area while also acquiring fundamental knowledge in art history, critique, and modern theory.
The art history concentration provides wide-ranging exposure to visual arts, starting with introductory survey courses and basic studio practice, then progressing to specialized courses examining particular cultures and historical eras. You'll develop an understanding of contextual factors related to art creation and appreciation, along with the research and writing capabilities needed for critical analysis of art and visual culture.
Both tracks include a culminating thesis project, complement other majors effectively, and can be combined with a minor from any WSU academic department. All students must fulfill UCORE requirements.
