University of Richmond Professor Agnieszka Szymańska to join Institute for Advanced Study
An authority on late antique and medieval art and architecture, this art historian has plans to write a new book on monastic prayer spaces in Egypt.
At Richmond, you don't need to choose between focused artistic study and a liberal arts education, nor between a large, well-resourced arts program and the personal attention of a smaller one — you'll get it all. From the curricular flexibility and small, dynamic classes of a liberal arts college to the magnificent facilities, dedicated instructors, and big-name visiting artists of a top-notch arts program, you'll get the best of both worlds majoring in music, theatre, dance, art, and art history.
