Overview

Art History at Wake Forest University is interdisciplinary by its nature: we look to political history, religion, economics, and many other fields to help explain works of art and the motivations of the artists who made them.

Our faculty are specialists in most periods of European art, American visual culture, contemporary art, and Islamic and south Asian art and architecture. We also offer broad surveys of Western Art, World Art, and the History of Architecture. More advanced students can take seminars in specialized topics and Issues in Art History.

Careers

What can you do with an art history major? Lots of things! Working in art museums and galleries or teaching in college might be the first things that come to mind, but there are many other options. Art history combines well with many other fields in the liberal arts, including history, religious studies, anthropology, economics, and chemistry. Because you learn to interpret visual and verbal information, it’s good training for a career in law, and because works of art are also good investments, there are opportunities in business.
