Academic Course Map for Art History (B.A.)

---

ÌýÌýProgram OverviewÌý

The Bachelor of Arts in Art History (ARTH) at CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ teaches students how to analyze art within many contexts, including historical, intellectual, cultural, political, social and stylistic. In addition to examining diverse methodologies, introductory and upper-division courses cover artistic production from a wide range of cultures and periods, including medieval art, early modernÌýart,Ìýpre-Columbian art, Colonial Latin American art, Asian art, Native North American art, modern art and architecture, contemporary art and criticalÌýtheory or Museology.

Art history is not a simple celebration of the masterworks of the art world. It situates students at the crossroads of visual, verbalÌýand written communication, and immerses them in a rich global context of historical and contemporary cultures. Students in our program become adept writers, thinkers, and cultural leaders, uniquely equipped to enter a society and job market that value these skills.
