Undergraduate Program
Introduction
The Travel Seminar is a highlight of the undergraduate major in art history. It features a one-week trip during spring break to study first hand the subject of the seminar. The course combines the rigors of a traditional seminar with the excitement and intensity of nearly round-the-clock learning and comraderie on a trip led by a Columbia professor. The trip is a required part of the course, and major expenses (airfare and hotel) will be covered by the department. The Travel Seminar will be offered once a year, during spring semester, for five years. A gift from Philip Aarons to enhance the undergraduate major in art history has enabled us to offer this extraordinary educational opportunity.
