About Art History and Archaeology
The University of Missouri has played a prominent role in the teaching of the visual arts in North America since Walter Miller and John Pickard first began lecturing on campus in the 1890s. Our faculty and staff reflect the widening scope of our discipline with particular strengths in the areas of classical Mediterranean archaeology, medieval and Renaissance art, and the art and architecture of modern Europe and the Americas. Current faculty research interests range from early Greece and Rome to modern architecture and contemporary painting. Resources available to faculty and students include the department’s Visual Resources Center and the Museum of Art and Archaeology, both located in Pickard Hall on the historic Francis Quadrangle, as well as the extensive collections of Ellis Library.
Degrees
The Department of Art History and Archaeology offers the MA and the PhD degrees in art history and classical archaeology. The department participates in interdisciplinary graduate minors in Ancient Studies, Medieval and Renaissance Studies, and Women’s and Gender Studies.
