Art History - Hamilton College Clinton

Art History from Hamilton College Clinton is a Campus Bachelor Art History degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES Art history students at Hamilton have an exciting range of opportunities to do independent research and study on and off campus. Their creative, engaged efforts go far beyond passive "art appreciation." Students work with professors both during the academic year and over the summer. These collaborations can lead to publication and student-curated exhibitions at the Emerson Gallery. A recent Emerson exhibition, for example, contrasted male and female artists' differing depictions of war. Many art history majors also serve internships at galleries and museums in New York City, in Boston and across the country. And the department encourages its students to study abroad during their junior year in order to explore the diversity and richness of artistic traditions and styles. THE SENIOR PROGRAM Senior art history majors prepare an extensive research project in connection with a seminar that is taken in the fall or spring. The program culminates in an oral presentation before an audience of art history majors, faculty members and interested members of the College community. More ... RESOURCES The department draws on a range of artistic and cultural resources on campus and off. Hamilton's Emerson Gallery hosts a vibrant program of exhibitions, lectures, performances and films.
