Art History (ARHS)
According to the University of Arkansas', "The Art History program in the school of Art teaches students to interpret creative cultural production and prepares them for diverse fields that value visual literacy, critical thinking, and collaboration, including jobs in museums, galleries, and cultural institutions. We give students the tools they need to analyze the perceptual systems of the past and recognize the implications of these systems in the present. By approaching the discipline as a contested field of ideas, histories, and ways of working, we encourage students to creatively envision meaningful institutional and social change through the arts."
