Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Departments, Programs, and Requirements for Majors and Minors

Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Art History:


The study of art history provides students with a broad-based, interdisciplinary comprehension of the relationship of the visual arts to concurrent philosophical, social, economic, and political developments. With an emphasis on visual analysis, research, critical writing, and oral communication, the discipline of art history is appropriate for students planning on continuing with graduate studies in studio art and art history as well as those pursuing professions related to art, including positions in museums and galleries or careers in law, business, or journalism.

Students majoring in Art History who also want to major in Art (B.A.) must complete 28 hours of Art courses that are not used to complete the requirements for the major in Art History.

II. Required courses outside the major—none


III. Other departmental requirements:


Major competency is demonstrated by successful completion of the capstone project in ARTH 484 and ARTH 485. These courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher. The capstone project consists of in-depth research, a final paper, and an oral presentation on an approved topic.
