Requirements for double majors (generally 10 courses) are determined in consultation with the Chair and may include a combination of art history, studio, and DArt courses.

Required for Minor in Art History:
6 courses, adhering to the following guidelines:

  • One (and only one) course at the 100 level
  • At least two courses at the 300 level
  • The remaining three courses may be distributed between 200- and 300-level courses as the student wishes.
  • One (and only one) studio course may be counted toward the minor.
  • The art history minor may, with permission of the Chair, pursue an internship, which will count toward the minor.

Students are advised to elect related courses in other disciplines that will be meaningful in enriching their concentration in art history. It is recommended that art history majors take at least two years of either German or French, especially if they intend to pursue graduate study. The art history major is to consider ART 201-202 as prerequisite for other art history courses.
