The Bachelor of Arts in History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania's College of Arts and Sciences offers a comprehensive exploration of the history, critical interpretation, and cultural context of artistic production across global cultures and all periods. Students develop advanced skills in visual analysis, engage with interdisciplinary approaches, and are encouraged to reach advanced competence in relevant languages (such as French or German). The program fosters independent research and offers opportunities for honors thesis work and participation in departmental colloquia. The curriculum requires a foundational set of general education courses, diverse art historical surveys, seminars, historical and geographical distribution, a methods seminar, and electives tailored to individual interests. 来源： https://arth.sas.upenn.edu/undergraduate/major
