The Department of Art History offers courses in the history and criticism of the visual arts in major world cultures. In the Art and Architectural History program, students at the introductory level examine works of art and learn the critical and historical bases for understanding and appreciating them. At the advanced level, majors and nonmajors investigate style, iconography, patronage, social and political contexts, and other aspects of the arts in more specific geographical areas and periods. This advanced work and foreign language study provide a solid foundation for those who plan to attend graduate school to prepare for careers in areas such as scholarship, teaching, museums, and writing.

The Urban Design and Architecture Studies program offers an interdisciplinary analytic approach to these subjects. The program provides a broad humanistic perspective on cities' physical aspects, as well as preprofessional training for future architects, city planners, public administrators, and writers on urban problems.

An internationally renowned faculty and a diverse group of students use the Grey Art Library and Study Center, which includes lecture and seminar rooms, offices, a reference library, computers, and ample space for the study of visual materials.
