This course of study offers a survey in world art and culture, instilling in students the ability to critically analyze stylistic developments along historic timeframes. Utilizing the rich resources of the Castellani Art Museum , centrally located on campus, students will have multiple opportunities to participate in the various components of museum activity - exhibitions, programs, events. The program is meant to help prepare students for entry-level positions in museums, galleries, or other arts organizations, but also to prepare them for continued academic work at the Masters and Ph.D. levels.
