Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Art History] From Loyola University

The art history curriculum at Loyola offers a broad range of courses. Survey courses are designed to furnish students with a thorough overview of the history of art and architecture, while upper division classes (for which there are usually no prerequisites) provide comprehensive coverage of the Western tradition from classical to contemporary. Courses on Michelangelo, Islamic art, the history of prints, art in the Age of Exploration, African-American art, the Crusades, African art, East Asian Art, and methodology are also offered.

Students too take advantage of the rich holdings in museums and galleries in the Baltimore/Washington area and have participated in internships at the Baltimore Museum of Art, Carroll Mansion, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Evergreen Museum and Library, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Walters Art Museum, Jewish Historical Society, Maryland Historical Society, and Smithsonian Institution. Loyola?s many study abroad programs allow students to experience works of art and architecture in their original settings, while a generous gift from a donor enables the department to bring guest speakers to campus and allows students the opportunity to attend conferences and visit exhibitions.

An art history major is offered. Minors and interdisciplinary majors are also available. Many of our graduates go on to graduate school in art history or museum studies, while others pursue careers in the law, business, arts management, and other fields.
