Bachelor of Arts in Art History/Three Languages (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.

A multilingual brain is more agile and better able to solve problems and conflicts. Language learners demonstrate superior cognitive performance throughout their lives.

Over half of the world's population is bilingual or multilingual, while only one in five U.S. citizens speaks a language other than English. Knowledge of other languages and cultures gives our graduates a competitive advantage in any career, and is highly valued in international business and professional communities. Our graduates choose a variety of career paths in teaching, entertainment and media, government, travel, financial services or international business. Some students enter careers with international or non-governmental organizations such as the International Red Cross or the World Health Organization, while others go on to advanced degrees in preparation for work in international law, diplomacy and college teaching.
