Art History, B.A.

The art history curriculum includes courses that allow students and faculty to consider works produced in North and South America, Europe, and Asia, from pre-historic civilizations to the 21st century. Students tend to focus their studies on one or two of these areas, but gain experience in all of them by the end of their time at W&L. Under the close supervision of an individual faculty member, senior majors may opt to write an original thesis paper that addresses a topic of personal intellectual interest.
