Bachelor of Arts in Art History/Japanese Studies (Honors)

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. We offer courses in American (including Native American, African American and Latin American), European, African, Asian, and Islamic art, material culture, and architecture. There are multiple opportunities for double majors and joint majors that support students combined interests including Art Conservation, Anthropology, English, History, and several Languages, Literatures & Cultures. Through the study of the full range of artistic creativity, we challenge students to become citizens of the world.
