[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 1997, the Art Department at the Universidad de los Andes included, amongst its areas of study, Art History and Theory courses, and offered Art students a minor degree in these disciplines. Between 1999 and 2012, twenty students graduated from this option with a BA in Art and a minor in Art History. The program offered Modern and Contemporary Art courses for students from both the mayor in Art and the minor in Art History, and contributed to the General Education program across the University with Art History classes. Around the same time, the Department also supervised a Certificate in Modern and Contemporary Art History that was chaired by professor Mar\u00eda Clara Bernal between 2006 el 2011. Five new professors were hired between 2008 and 2011, including specialists in Prehispanic, Medieval, Early Modern, Late Modern and Modern and Contemporary Art. This resulted in a broadening of more areas of study and courses offered to students. Conversations on the need to train professional art historians had been part of the Art Department\u2019s history and so the minor degree was redesigned to become an official undergraduate degree in Art History. This was possible thanks to the support of the then Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, Claudia Montilla, the now former Chair of the Art Department, Carolina Franco, and to professor, Patricia Zalamea. The new Art History program was approved by the Board of Directors of the Universidad de los Andes on June 23, 2010 and was formally inaugurated in January 2012 as the first undergraduate degree in Art History in the country. As part of the history, it is important to highlight these key precedents and steps that allowed the program to become what it is today.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1338″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1340″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With the program continually growing and expanding, and with the inauguration of the Masters in Art History in August 2016, the University created the Department of Art History in February 2017.
