Art history is the study of art created in the past by individuals from various cultures and parts of the world. Today, art majors are provided with a broad introduction to the humanities, as well as a sophisticated initiation into the practice, theory and appreciation of the arts.

 

CUA's Department of Art is devoted to nurturing the production and understanding of artistic expression, one of the oldest, most vital and human of endeavors. Together, the various programs offered are dedicated to the proposition that art and culture are one, and that exposure to the visual arts is an essential component of every liberal education.
