Description
If you want to understand culture and history, start with art. As an art history student, you’ll dive into the visual arts-from paintings and photographs to architecture and digital media-to discover extraordinary insights about people and society. You’ll learn how to be a detective, a historian, an explorer and a decoder of the world around us. In an increasingly visual world, you will become a trusted guide, equipped with the skills to see how we reveal ourselves through art.
