Bachelor of Arts in Art History

University of Houston

Art history is the study of creative expression by humans from our beginnings in Africa to the present day. Focused on the visual world, Art History is an inherently interdisciplinary field that also draws on the rich intellectual traditions of anthropology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and history.The University of Houston Art History program engages the city’s art institutions together with our stellar faculty to create an innovative curriculum for students who want to succeed in the international art world. We provide a firm grounding in the discipline of Art History within a Tier-1, urban research university while providing deeply meaningful experiences in the collections of the city's major arts institutions. We believe in broadening access to sustainable careers in the arts by welcoming emerging scholars with a wide range of backgrounds into our major and minor programs.
