Department of Art History merged with the Department of History

Visual Studies and Museum Studies Minors are housed in Brodie Hall. Architect Edgar Tafel designed the hall, a noted designer of the second wave of American modernist architects who followed the innovative designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. Brodie Hall also contains the Departments of Theater and Dance and Music and serves as an integrated Arts area that combines creative expression with scholarship.

Student involvement includes participation in the Art History Association and in the Annual Art History Symposium, where students present their work. The Award of the Pam Eder Memorial Prize in Art History is given to the best Symposium paper.

The Program’s faculty includes scholars with international, national and regional reputations and networks of contacts, who can assist students interested in pursuing Study Abroad experiences and in conducting research or pursuing internships in a variety of venues.
