Bennington's approach to art history, like our approach to everything, includes many different areas of study. Students are invited to make connections between historical and contemporary art, between what informs their own practice and what has shaped artistic practice across the centuries and across the globe. Students' work in other subjects—the social sciences, languages, sciences, studio art—enrich their exploration of art in a historical context, and vice versa.
At Bennington, you design your own course of study and work, taking full advantage of the College’s resources both inside and outside the classroom. This process goes beyond the bounds of a traditional major. You identify one or more areas of interest that spark your intellectual curiosity and provide a foundation for your academic work and fieldwork, and you pursue that work with ongoing guidance from your faculty. This is your Plan.
