California State University, Fullerton
Art B.A. with Art History Concentration

Art History:

Curricular plans for the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Fine Arts have been developed to meet the individual needs and interests of students in art.
The general objectives of the programs are to provide a comprehensive learning environment which contributes conceptually and technically to the development of the art historian, the visual artist and the art teacher. Specifically, the programs provide opportunities for students to: (1) develop a knowledge and understanding of fundamental visual experience and concepts basic to many forms and fields of art; (2) develop a critical appreciation of historical and contemporary art forms as they relate to individual and social needs and values; (3) creatively express one's personal experience and thought with visual skill and clarity; (4) develop knowledge and skills necessary to pursue graduate studies in visual arts, or to teach art and (5) develop the understanding and expertise applicable to professional practice.

The Art History concentration emphasizes the area of art history, theory, and appreciation and is particularly recommended for those students who wish to pursue graduate studies in art history or museum studies.
