Overview

Since 1964 the State University of New York at New Paltz has offered a program leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History with a wide range of courses in the history of painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic and decorative arts, design, and photography. A minor concentration in Art History is also available, as is an Art History major concentration within the Elementary Education Pre-K-6 curriculum. All courses count toward the liberal arts requirement. At present there is no graduate program in Art History, although graduate-level courses and seminars are offered for graduate programs in art and art education.
