The study of the history of art and architecture is really the study of ourselves and our own history. Understanding visual cultures across the globe and through time provides a window to self-discovery and global understanding.
There are numerous opportunities for students interested in the visual arts at Pitt-Greensburg, both in and outside the classroom, such as internships at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. The Visual Arts Society is a great way to get involved in the arts on campus. VAS sponsors film series, the annual Fall Arts Trip, painting parties, a Spring Art Exhibit, visiting lectures, and more. Follow VAS on Facebook!
Students interested in History of Art and Architecture may choose to pursue a minor either to supplement the work in their majors or to fulfill the requirements for a related area within their majors.
