Overview

Key features

The Art and Art History program from Merrimack College establishes the intrinsic connection between the art historian and the practicing studio artist. The program seeks to graduate well-rounded citizen artists and historians, who have a keen understanding of both the art world and the larger contextual society in which it operates.

The program emphasizes a post-structuralist, multi-channeled approach to exploring all aspects of the historical and contemporary art world, and champions research, creativity, innovation, sustainable and ethical practices, and collaboration and community.

Through small class sizes that guarantee in-depth, personal mentorship from the Art and Art History faculty, and a curriculum designed to allow specialization, you will be able to tailor your major to your specific interests, taking advantage of directed studies, art-focused study abroad programs, and professional internships in regional art galleries and museums.
