Department of Art History

Located in historic Voorhees Hall, once home to the Rutgers Library, the Department of Art History at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey on the New Brunswick campus, offers unique opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students studying world art and architecture. We are committed to the research and teaching of art, architecture, print media, photography and all forms of visual culture from all periods – from the ancient pyramids to Kara Walker. Students choose from a range of courses on both European and American historical periods, and wider global traditions including Islamic, Latin American, African and Asian art.
