Department of Art. Art History Newsletter. College of Environmental Design Cal Poly

The Art History program at Cal Poly Pomona is the only one of its kind to offer an independent B.A. in the CSU system in Southern California. This gives our students due recognition for their expertise in the field when they apply for employment or to graduate programs.

This publication provides highlights of the department's year. Browse this edition for student and alumni news, and background on the specialties and research areas of the department's art historians. This issue also contains the Art History Papers Directory of this year's graduating seniors, as well as the latest news about the program and the revival of the university's Art History Collective, led by student Cheyenne Gallegos; art history student profiles and alumni news roundup; and information on career paths.
