In art history, students choose from an array of courses covering all periods of the art and architecture of America, Europe, Asia, the African diaspora, and the Islamic world. Advanced courses focus more intensively on specific disciplinary and interdisciplinary issues: the life of a major artist, the history of an important movement, gender in art, texts and images, ecology and contemporary art, and even exhibit planning and design.
