General description

The East Asian Art History study program looks at archaeological artifacts, artworks, and other evidence of the visual culture of China, Korea, and Japan and their historical development, regional interconnections, and current manifestations. Those completing the program have acquired a basic grounding in the methodologies of the discipline, subject knowledge in selected genres such as architecture, sculpture and plastic art, painting, graphics, written art, and applied art, and the ability to work independently on simple questions of art history. The program qualifies students for activities requiring them to engage with material products of East Asian culture, for example in museums, art dealing, and publishing, or in journalism or tourism. It is also a prerequisite for a further academic degree in the subject.
