Art History 082 Area of Specialization (39 Credits)



The art history area of specialization offers diverse courses that consider art throughout history from many geographic regions, designed to prepare students for graduate work in art history, careers in museums and galleries, and arts administration. The curriculum emphasizes skills in critical thinking, visual discrimination, and fluency in oral and written communication, all of which are essential to such professions as law and medicine, as well as in all art-related fields. A focus in art history can be combined with the minor or courses in museum studies (see Museum Studies 698).

Art History Electives (6 credits)

Electives may be drawn from any 200-level or higher art history course not already counted in the distribution requirements. Students may also use any museum studies courses. Students are encouraged to add an elective from studio course offerings to gain hands-on experience with making works of art.  

The total number of required courses in the art history concentration is 13; the total number of credits is 39.

Note: Students intending to pursue graduate study in art history are strongly encouraged to pursue the museum studies minor (see Museum Studies 698). In addition, students should take the equivalent of four semesters of college-level courses in a foreign language, usually French or German, and should strongly consider participating in the art history honors program in their senior year. Because works of art express the ideas of the culture of which they are a part, the study of art history is strengthened by a knowledge of archaeology, cultural anthropology, history, literature, philosophy, religion, urban studies, and other related disciplines. In consultation with their advisers, students should select appropriate languages and courses in related subjects.
