BA Art History at University of Delaware

Art History offers students critical insights into the ways art and cultural expression have developed over time and across continents. We sharpen students’ visual skills, develop students’ writing abilities, and spark students’ imaginations with images, objects, and buildings that have been worshipped, stirred revolutions, delighted, or outraged. Local museums, including the UD Library, Museums and Press, often serve as laboratories for students to develop their talents as critics and curators.
