What are some unique opportunities for Art History Majors?

One of the most unique opportunities for Art History Majors (and non-majors!) is the Spring Break Away.  During the Spring semester, students take an Art History course here at the main campus.  Then, during Spring Break, those students travel to Italy or France (depending on the course) and spend a week fully immersed in the culture of the nation while still engaging in a scholarly way.  Students have raved about the experience and many express their desire to return as soon as possible.
