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

Georgetown's Art History Program offers an undergraduate major and minor. Courses at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels focus on a range of historical periods, cultures, and media, as well as methods of study and problems of interpretation and criticism.

The study of art develops visual and critical abilities, and trains students to relate direct observation to appropriate historical, political, social and environmental contexts, and to use their experiences in languages, literature, philosophy, theology, and a variety of other fields of study. Most art history courses emphasize the study of original works of art in Washington area museums, and many involve intensive research and writing experience.
