Learn to think critically (and visually) by studying the development of human creativity.

Art history isn’t just about studying the past, it’s about learning to interpret our world through visual expression.

Art history is interdisciplinary, drawing from various fields in the humanities, sciences, technology and even engineering. It also builds valuable skills that employers want, including critical thinking and analysis, presentation and public speaking, writing, research, problem-solving, broad historical and cultural knowledge, and creativity.
