Overview

You will learn the visual and material culture skills and critical thinking that is the heart of studying art history. You will also have the intensive research and writing experience that is characteristic of a liberal arts education.

To major with an Art History concentration at the College of William & Mary, you will focus your degree by choosing one of three tracks. The Art & Art History minor is flexible: you can tailor it to fit your goals and interests. We also actively support students who wish to combine their interest in other fields with a double major.

Independent Research in Art History

In addition to taking the required research courses, Art History majors may pursue independent, individualized research projects on topics of particular interest to you. Such projects can result in written research papers, public presentations, and/or publications.

Independent research in Art History frequently grows out of a term paper written for a regular course or seminar. In order to pursue independent research on a topic of special interest to you, contact a faculty mentor and ask if they will serve as your research advisor. Work with your research advisor to design a project.

The College of William and Mary is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
