Overview

The Art History and Theory program of Alfred University is designed to encourage you to develop an understanding of artistic developments in the Western and global historical contexts, to provide you with the critical and theoretical tools necessary to pursue a career as an art professional, and to prepare you for the pursuit of graduate studies in the field.

Key Facts

Become an art historian and theorist with knowledge of the visual arts grounded in substantial studio experiences as well as extensive academic learning and research. You'll also have extensive exposure to a combination of fundamental theoretical and applied research techniques in art.
