Undergraduates within the History of Art Department are encouraged to incorporate experiences abroad into their curriculum. Students may apply to programs both within and outside of Ohio State.
The Office of International Affairs can help students explore options for studying abroad. Opportunities are available for the entire year, a single semester, May session, and summer. Many study abroad courses may be counted towards the major or minor in History of Art.
The History of Art Department also offers three study abroad programs led by its faculty members; offerings in the coming years should include The Arts of Japan in Tokyo and Kyoto, Medieval Art in Rome, Siena, and Florence, and The Art of Paris: Gothic Cathedrals.

Many courses within History of Art incorporate some form of work outside the classroom. Galleries in and around Columbus (including the Columbus Museum of Art and the renowned Wexner Center for the Arts) are easy day trips for students to experience first-class exhibits. Some courses, however, take students to various other locations all around the nation.
Cleveland Museum of Art
During Autumn semester 2016, as part of her course HISTART 5222 Later Islamic Art, ACLS Post-doc Fellow Emily Neumeier took 12 undergrads to the Cleveland Museum of Art. Together they saw the Islamic galleries, which also included contemporary art by Lalla Essaydi and Afruz Amighi. They visited the special exhibition "Art and Stories from Mughal India," as well. After the trip, students were asked to design multimedia tours exploring different themes in Islamic art, and incorporated video, 3D models, and proposals for interactive features that could be implemented in the museum's Gallery One space.
