Art History, which is devoted to the study of the visual arts, is one of the broadest of the humanistic disciplines. It is concerned not only with the nature of works of art-their form, style, and content-but also with the social, political, and cultural circumstances that shape them. The introductory-level courses aim at developing in students a lifelong understanding and appreciation of works of art. The rest of the curriculum is geared to preparing majors either for graduate study leading to careers in university teaching and museums or for positions in the art world, galleries, publication, criticism, the visual media, art consultation, conservation, and the like. These courses also provide opportunities for correlated learning to students in other fields. The department, fortunate to be located in New York City, one of the world's great art centers, takes full advantage of the rich resources of the city's museums and galleries in its course of study.
