Art History (30 credit major)

The Department of Art and Art History offers introductory, intermediate and advanced courses in art history. The major consists of 33 credits. No more than 15 credits transferred from another institution may be applied to the major. The Art History BA is intended for students interested in a liberal arts education in the humanities or students planning to continue their art history studies in a graduate program. A broad range of courses from different fields, rather than specialization in one area, is encouraged. Majors who have completed 3 credits in art history beyond ARTH 11100 are eligible to take the required seminar, Research Methods of Art History ARTH 30000, to be programmed in consultation with an art history adviser. Majors planning graduate study in art history should discuss with an art history adviser the requirements for graduate admission, including graduate language requirements; this should be done during an early semester. Students may declare a double major in Studio Art (24 cr).

Note: At least one class numbered ARTH 31100 (W) - ARTH 38100 (W)  must be taken in the major (either to fulfill a distribution area or as a major elective).
