Western Michigan University's art history curriculum champions an essential global perspective. WMU professors offer varied viewpoints and specialties spanning Asian, African, Indigenous American, and European traditions, encompassing eras from ancient times to modern day. Choosing to pursue art history at WMU means gaining opportunities to experience the discipline beyond campus through partnerships with local arts institutions and international study programs.
