Bachelors in Art and Archaeology

This program is is devoted to the study and criticism of the visual arts and the investigation of material artifacts from a wide range of cultures and historical periods. It is also where students interested in the practice of art (taught by faculty in the Program in Visual Arts) can pursue a major. Current faculty members explore subjects as diverse as Roman city planning, Islamic archaeology, Chinese cinema, and contemporary painting, but are united in their belief that the visual arts offer key insights into the past and stimulate ideas and personal growth in the present.
