Key facts

Students can choose from a diverse selection of upper-division courses ranging from ancient to contemporary art in both Western and non-Western traditions. The BA program, leveraging its position within a comprehensive studio art department, requires students to complete two foundational studio art classes, as well as attain practical experience via either gallery internships or by serving as a teaching assistant. The BA also allocates open elective credits which allow students to explore interests in related areas, including literature, foreign languages, history, anthropology, philosophy, or through study abroad opportunities.

We are a small but dynamic community, one of the most engaging places in the Northwest to study Art History and Visual Culture.
