Art History
Offered as: Major , Minor
From the Neolithic to the post-modern, art history traces continuity and change in our understanding of visual expression. Gettysburg's art history major combines historical and cultural contexts with rigorous aesthetic analysis.
The cultural resources of nearby Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Baltimore -- as well as the College's own extensive holdings, including a notable collection of Asian art -- bring students into contact with important works.
In addition, wide-ranging studio courses provide hands-on insight into the creative process and the limits and possibilities of various media. Gettysburg's own art gallery exhibits the work of students and noted professional artists.
