Learning Through Doing

Each of our programs is known for small class sizes and experiential learning—making in the studio or lab, digging in the archive, parsing works in the classroom, interning at museums, collaborating with our galleries, or curating shows. Students in Art & Art History develop skills needed for a range of creative industries and the critical facility that is the hallmark of humanistic education. Those in our majors, minors, and MA program benefit from sustained mentorship in the related fields of art & design, historical research, critical writing, and museum studies.
