Introduction
Established in 1983 as Archeology and Art History, the department provides education as Art History with the separation of Archeology and Art History in 1998. In the programs carried out by two departments, Western and Contemporary Arts and Turkish and Islamic Art, the courses covering Turkish, Islamic, Ottoman arts, Western art and contemporary arts are equally weighted.
Attention has been paid to establish historical parallelism between the subjects of both majors according to the academic years. In addition to the compulsory courses that must be taken during the education period, there are many elective courses starting from the first year. These elective courses include subjects from disciplines that support art history from various perspectives.
Students who successfully complete the four-year undergraduate education of the Department of Art History receive the title of art historian. With these titles, they can work as experts and researchers in museums. In addition, they can work as managers, experts and researchers in institutions affiliated to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, banks and private sector, art galleries. Students who take teacher formation courses during or after their education can be appointed as teachers to secondary schools and high schools.
