B.S. in Conservation Studies
Italy
Description:
The Department of Art and Art History believes a sound foundation and an exploration of the fields of studio art and art history should be combined with a strong liberal arts education to expand the intellectual horizons of our students. The department seeks ways to broaden their intellectual development through the investigation of state-of-the-art technologies in addition to traditional forms of study and techniques. The department believes an education in the visual arts should go beyond the classroom, lab, and studio. Opportunities are provided to exhibit artwork, visit galleries and museums, obtain internships, and study abroad. The department's mission is to prepare students for careers and graduate study in the fine and applied arts. The B.S. in conservation studies is designed to give students a strong background in conservation studies and the art of restoration in order to prepare them for a professional career and/or graduate study in the field of art conservation and museum studies. A liberal arts-based curriculum will broadly introduce students to the field, including studio art techniques and art history theories, while also providing a laboratory-intensive experience in various methods of restoration and conservation used throughout the world on different artistic mediums.

Lorenzo de' Medici's Mission Statement: Lorenzo de' Medici is committed to helping students realize their own potential, providing a quality education that will enable them to interact successfully with the community worldwide. The School aims to excite and enable students to experience a first class educational and social environment which enlarges their minds, stimulates their talent, and emphasizes the importance of values and the pursuit of knowledge. We also seek to develop real, multi-disciplinary projects in our classes that involve as many of our departments as possible. In this way, we prepare our students to face the actual challenges of their respective fields. Students obtain truly relevant work-related experience by collaborating with colleagues both inside and outside of their specific areas of interest. Then, the results of this collaboration are presented externally for public appreciation and expert evaluation.
