Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Art History] From University of Florida

Art history embraces an interdisciplinary approach that draws on history, archaeology, anthropology, religion, literature, and other allied disciplines to understand and interpret visual culture. The curriculum cultivates skills in critical analysis, research, oral and written communication, and visual literacy that prepare students for careers and graduate/professional schools in diverse fields in and outside the arts. We are able to offer face-to-face instruction by permanent faculty who are actively engaged in international research.

Majors also need to demonstrate college-level foreign language proficiency. Foreign language skills prepare students for art historical research and greater international engagement. You may already be proficient in a foreign language or you may need additional study to demonstrate proficiency. The art history program requires the same level of proficiency as the majors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. See CLAS Foreign Language Requirement for ways to demonstrate proficiency by exam, college-level credit from another institution, or taking coursework at UF.
