The art history degree at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, brings a distinctive intellectual slant to the art program by teaching art history majors to think analytically in a visual way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

From their first year at Transylvania, students have intensive guidance and training for doing research. We try really hard to teach them our research methods\u2014methods that are applicable to all fields, not just art history.<\/em><\/p>\nWei Lin, associate professor of art history<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The program is also interdisciplinary\u2014in addition to art history courses that cover areas such as ancient, gothic, Renaissance, modern and Asian art, the major may encompass courses from anthropology, history or philosophy. This approach to the study of art history looks at how artists are shaped by historical, political, social and intellectual conditions. The artist is seen as a part of this whole, rather than separate from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania students learn in a global classroom. Study abroad offers travel opportunities for an academic year, a term, a summer or May term. Trips to such cities as Paris, Florence, Rome and London give students access to the art and architecture they study, as well as first-hand experiences they can bring back to campus for further examination. Kenan Grants have funded student research and creative work all over the world, including England, France and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
