Art History offers a number of opportunities abroad such as studying abroad and field work studies.

19th & 20th Century French Art

This summer program offers an exceptional opportunity to study 19th & 20th Century French Art in Paris. It combines formal instruction with visits to the great museums of Paris and to architectural sites in and around the city. Classes at the Vidéothèque de Paris for viewing films, or the discovery of photography at La Maison Européenne de la Photographie allow students to consider painting and sculpture in relation to the revolutionary inventions of photography and film. In addition, the program examines African, African American, and Japanese contributions to French culture. More info.
