Art History
The Art History Program at Denison offers courses for a Bachelor of Arts Degree (B.A). The program is designed to identify and develop critical awareness, in accordance with the general aim of a liberal education. This program provides students with the opportunity for instruction and practice in the visual arts as preparation for graduate studies and professional pursuits in this field.
The Art History Program's current temporary location is in Chamberlin Lodge, at 900 North Loop on the northern residential quad. Faculty offices, the Academic Secretary's office and the Slide Library are on the third floor.
The Denison Museum, located in Burke Hall, houses large Burmese and Chinese collections, Cuna Indian Art, prints, drawings and paintings from the Renaissance to the Contemporary period. These collections, as well as the exhibitions in the Gallery, frequently are used for study. Programs encourage exploration of the collection and the rotating exhibitions by teachers, students and staff.
