What will I learn?

Thirty-six semester hours in art history, of which 18 hours must be advanced (3000- or 4000-level), as listed below. In addition to seeking academic advising from the undergraduate advisor in the School of Art, art history majors are encouraged to meet with a faculty member to find out about internship and research opportunities. Major course requirements are:

ARTH 1380 - Art and Society: Prehistoric to Gothic: ARTH 1381 - Art and Society: Renaissance to Modern
ARTH 4388 - Methods of Art History
To provide balance in their course of study, students must take a minimum of one course from each of the following four categories. For these twelve hours, students should check in the School of Art Office for the current list of courses, including topics courses, which address these specific categories.

Ancient and Medieval Art
Renaissance, Baroque and Eighteenth Century
Nineteenth Century, Twentieth Century, and Contemporary
Art of Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas

For the remaining 15 hours of art history electives, students need to be aware of the following:

Students may apply only three hours of Critical Studies courses which are identified as ARTH 3301, ARTH 3302, ARTH 3395, and ARTH 3396.
ARTH 1300 - Ways of Seeing: Art and Our Visual World may not be applied to the major in Art History.
Students who are considering graduate school are strongly encouraged to take ARTH 4385 - Senior Seminar in Art History to fulfill three hours in this category.

Nine hours of humanities and social science courses, which may include History at the 2000-level or above (that is not used to meet the American History core requirement), Anthropology, or other courses within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences that support the student鈥檚 field of art historical interest.
