DUAL BACHELOR OF ARTS IN FINE ARTS & ART HISTORY

If you are interested in art-making, as well as the history and development of art practices over time, this dual degree program may be the one for you. Studying at a research university prepares students to respond to the complexity of possibilities facing the contemporary artist with expanded avenues for artistic research. If your artwork considers conceptions of the body and gender or comments on politics, for example, you can take courses from experts here at GW. In today’s world, artists must take an interdisciplinary approach to create innovative and interesting art, and at GW you have the opportunity to put this skill into practice. With a more diverse background, our students are prepared to ideate richer subject-matter, processes and outcomes.

Our program emphasizes a critical and creative relationship between content and form, an awareness of art historical connections and engagement with diverse contexts of creative production.
