Welcome to the Art and Art History Department

The Art and Art History Department at Providence College

A curriculum planned to provide a thorough experience in Art and Art History within the context of a comprehensive liberal arts environment.

Begin with a series of foundation courses that establish a visual literacy and point the way toward a specific medium or topic of interest.

As this personal awareness develops, a studio concentration or art historical subject gradually becomes focused into a thesis in the senior year. The capstone of the Art and Art History curriculum, the thesis project becomes an exhibition in one of our galleries for Studio majors and a public presentation of their research thesis for Art History majors. As a final appreciation of our students’ accomplishments, all thesis projects are published in the Department’s own imprint, the Art Journal.
