Art History

The Nicholls art history curriculum provides students with information about the visual art created over the course of time. The curriculum is designed to help students think critically about art and visual culture. Students are encouraged to use analytical tools to assess art from different historical periods and analyze the social significance of art.

Students enrolled in the studio program may take specialized upper-level courses that address conceptual issues that concern visual artists and that are also relevant to the humanities. Students are also invited to attend gallery exhibitions and other art and humanities events at Nicholls as they learn about the visual arts and explore the ways in which art has been vital to different cultures around the world.

A minor in art history requires

  • 18 hours in art history courses and
