Art historians are concerned with the many-faceted historical implications (personal, social, political, economic, and aesthetic) of imagery and objects (buildings, paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, photographs, films and decorative arts). They study the makers, critics, patrons and users of these objects and images. Investigations reveal changing views of humanity and the world that develop a student's own critical perspective.

The art history faculty represents diverse approaches to the arts of all historical periods of the Western world and of Asia, and the department's curriculum includes courses in Pre-Columbian and African art. Courses are also taught by curators at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other institutions in the area. Boston's excellent museums and gallery collections and its range of more than 300 years of architecture bring students into intimate and productive association with major examples of visual culture throughout history.

The undergraduate art history concentration provides interdisciplinary preparation for graduate work in the humanities or social sciences and complements studies in the natural sciences. The undergraduate Art History Association sponsors trips to museums and galleries and organizes film and lecture series. Graduates may work in museums, galleries, municipal or state cultural programs, educational institutions, publishing, and architectural and planning firms. Many go onto graduate study in a variety of fields.
