Bachelor of Arts in Art History/Russian 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.

Students of the UD Russian Studies Program also learn about significant moments in the long history of Russia and Russian speakers, and their unique, influential culture. It is not for nothing that Soviet propaganda advertised the USSR as the most well-read country in the worldtoday, still, literature holds special significance for Russian speakers. We draw on some of the most famous and popular Russian literary works to develop our students communication skills and cultural knowledge, as well as other Russophone media, including film, television, songs, social media, news articles, and even scholarly essays.
