Thank you for your interest in the Department of the History of Art at Yale. For over sixty years, our department has introduced thousands of undergraduates to works of art from diverse cultures around the world, trained hundreds of graduate students who have contributed significantly to our discipline, and worked closely with major museums on Yale's campus.

While art history at Yale is not characterized by any single methodological approach, our faculty shares a commitment to the firsthand investigation of works of art and to theoretically sophisticated multidisciplinary analysis. In any given year, the department has about twenty faculty, twenty to thirty undergraduate majors per class, and about fifty-five graduate students in residence.

The breadth of our faculty's interests, our variety of course offerings and special lecture events, the quality of the university's collections, and especially our vibrant community of undergraduate and graduate students make the History of Art a dynamic discipline at Yale. Welcome to our website and to our department.
