5 REASONS
WHY YOU
SHOULD BE AN
ART HISTORY
MAJOR

2. 1. Study influential artists
Art history majors will study historic and influential
artists, which will provide them with an
understanding and appreciation of the past thus
influencing their thoughts and opinions on the
present. The major encourages critical thinking,
articulate expression of thought, humanity, discipline
and problem solving skills.

3. 2. Great faculty
mentors
The faculty and staff members
in the Art and Design
department care about each
individual student and want to
see them succeed. If a student
has a problem in their schedule
or a question about a class,
professors are there to help
them out and find the answers.

4. 3. Getting involved in extracurricular
activities is encouraged
Being well-rounded and involved on campus can help students
find better experiences and jobs while on campus and after they
graduate.

5. 4. Students are exposed to world-
class art at SUMA
The professional Southern Utah Museum of Art on SUU’s
campus exposes students to many opportunities to study art
history outside of the classroom. The rotation of exhibits
within the museum provide students with never-ending
opportunities to see and study historical pieces, new work
and meet a variety of artists.

6. 5. Opportunities are
available if you know
where to look
Not only can you learn about
a variety of artists and
experience world-class art at
SUMA, you can work there
too. There are also art
galleries around Cedar City
that are willing to showcase
student work.
