Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Art History] From Hood College

The programme offers the student experience in the concepts, methods and materials of archaeology and the history of film. Studio art, providing direct experience with design, drawing, painting and other media, enriches the student?s understanding of the creative process and is also an important component of the curriculum. Course work in studio art, as well as in art history and chemistry, is also essential for students considering a career in conservation.

For art majors, Hood?s location near Washington, D.C., and Baltimore is especially valuable. Field trips to the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Dumbarton Oaks, the Walters Art Museum and other collections allow students to study major works of art firsthand. Internships are available with most of these museums and with advertising agencies, design studios and cultural institutions such as the Library of Congress and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
