Why Choose the Art History Minor?

The art history minor enables students to study in some depth the evolution of art from prehistory to the twenty-first century. Introductory courses focus on significant stylistic periods such as the Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, or Romantic. Other courses examine major ideas and styles in modern and post-modern art. These classes include study of the role of women in art, African-American contributions to American art, and the special evolution of art in America. Students also are able to study abroad in the summer with master teachers from Ferris in Italy, France, Spain and England.
