Bachelor of Arts in History of Art

Our History of Art program emphasizes the historical, social, cultural, and philosophical contexts of art, as well as the critical analysis of artistic and architectural form. Youll have access to museum internships and research projects at Hopkins museums, including the Archaeological Museum, the Homewood Museum, and the Evergreen Museum, and work with curators and educators at various galleries in Baltimore, such as the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum.
At Johns Hopkins the study of art history emphasizes the historical, social, cultural, and philosophical contexts of art, as well as immersing students in the critical analysis of artistic and architectural form through close looking, writing, discussion, and debate. The History of Art department is therefore an excellent choice both for undergraduates interested in a humanistic education as well as those preparing for advanced study or for careers in the museum, heritage, and cultural sectors, collections and archives, or online and print publishing and design. Any career, from medicine and law to engineering and education, that requires close looking, careful examination of textual and visual information, and the ability to communicate clearly about these things, will be facilitated by the study of the History of Art. Each undergraduate major and minor is assigned a faculty adviser, who helps craft an individual course of study leading to the fulfillment of the graduation requirements
