Overview

About the program

The founders of IAU had this in mind as they formulated a full art curriculum which grew out of a studio painting course started by Léo Marchutz in 1960. Its defining characteristic resides in the educational principle that any art-related study should combine in a holistic manner the three (3) disciplines of art history, studio practice, and critical studies.

The artistic traditions of the south of France and the Mediterranean Basin will naturally serve as the intellectual backbone of the Art History program from The American College of the Mediterranean.

Originally founded by the Romans, Aix still has architectural and archaeological details dating back to the Middle Ages and prior, including Roman baths, walls, and roads. Local excursions provide students with an enhanced awareness of Provençal culture while giving them a unique and unparalleled French experience.
