History with Art History BA
The central aim of the Art History minor is to train you to look closely at works of art, architecture and design, and to acquire knowledge and understanding of their aesthetic, cultural and historical contexts.
History with Art History BA
In choosing History as a major, you have chosen a life-enriching pursuit. History is the sum of human experience and the study of the human condition. This endlessly fascinating subject demands analytical rigour, precision of thought, and the ability to communicate clearly. The BA (Hons) in History offers the study of a broad sweep of history. Our curriculum approaches the past in all its guises: economic, political, social, cultural and intellectual history.
In your History major, you will study a diverse range of subject matters, from the Middle Ages to the modern day. You will study two survey courses; six increasingly focused period-specific courses, which encourage real intellectual depth; and one course reflecting on the nature of the discipline and equipping you with the skills to master it.
By choosing Art History as a minor you will have the opportunity to widen your view of history through the study of cultural artefacts, developing a greater understanding of the people and times that created them. You will develop critical skills in how to look, to think, and to present your ideas succinctly and persuasively.
