Department of Art History

Department of Art History


The Art History Program includes courses directly associated with culture, particularly through arts. Nowadays, both world and national historical heritage remains have been taken for granted, ruined and lost. Thus, the curriculum intends to train students to value and contribute in preserving the cultural heritage.
