Art History with Museum Studies
Bachelor of Arts
All students will have some experience in both kinds of study.
The art history curriculum will examine stylistic developments along historical time frames and address how art reflects culture, technological innovation and sociopolitical issues. It will teach students methods of analysis and interpretation for understanding works of art and enable them to discover the rich and complex relationships of art to other aspects of culture. Â
Museum studies courses will explore theoretical issues critical to the rise and role of the museum and its relation to history and culture. The program will also provide courses that help prepare students for internships and entry-level positions in museums, galleries, or other arts organizations. Â
Additionally, the program will also prepare students for continued academic work at the Masters and Ph.D. levels. Our partnership with the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University, centrally located on campus, is an integral part of the museum studies component, providing opportunities for museum internships and exhibition-based courses.
To further develop the skills needed for a successful career in this field, students will have the opportunity to pursue museum internships with the Castellani or other area museums.
All of our courses are taught by professionals in the industry with various backgrounds and many years of experience.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in a trip to a major city, allowing for students to engage in an in-depth and immersive visual arts experience.
