Considering the context of the University's location, its medieval castle campus, and the available local resources, the B.A. in Art History at SJIU focuses on the Western Art tradition. These courses cover a broad range of subjects from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque art, as well as art from the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. This program will offer students the possibility to appreciate both the artists and artists' works in their historical, political, religious and literary context.
