The Department of Art & Design recommends this degree for those students seeking a solid liberal arts education with a specialization in Art History. The student may continue toward the M.A. or Ph.D. in art history after earning a B.A. degree in Art with an Art History concentration.
B.A. degree students are encouraged to discuss career options with an advisor. The B. A. in Art with an Art History concentration requires a minor.
