Art with Concentration in Art History [ART/ARTH]


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

Art history survey courses (ATH 121, 122, 223) provide a systematic exploration of the major art traditions of the world. Upper division courses (200-level and above) introduce the student to more intensive study of the art of a particular period or region through a variety of approaches and techniques of art historical analysis. ATH 429: Advanced Topics in Art History often is used to meet the special interests of students and to take advantage of new art discoveries and major exhibitions.

The diverse interests of Cortland’s art history faculty provide the student with opportunities to broaden global and multicultural awareness through an understanding of artistic achievement in our own and other cultures.
