Description
The art and art history curriculum develops skills of analysis and critical thinking through instruction in the making and history of visual art.

The year-round program of exhibitions, visiting artists, and symposia organized by the Dowd Gallery complements the department’s activities by providing further opportunities for students to apply their developing aesthetic awareness to a wide range of artwork, ideas and values.
