Major

The Art History major provides the framework for the critical study of a wide range of global visual culture from different periods of human history and in all media.

The department works closely at both the un- dergraduate and graduate levels with the UCR California Museum of Photography to give stu- dents an opportunity to work with archival and art photographs and with the Jack and Marilyn Sweeney Art Gallery to provide access to cut- ting-edge multimedia works of art and to give the possibility of gaining curatorial experience.

Education Abroad Program

The EAP is an excellent opportunity to travel and learn more about another country and its culture while taking courses to earn units toward graduation. Students should plan study abroad well in advance to ensure that the courses taken fit with their overall program at UCR. Consult the departmental student affairs officer for assis- tance. For further details visit UCR’s International Education Center at internationalcenter.ucr.edu or call (951) 827-4113.
