ART HISTORY PROGRAM

Undergraduate students concentrating in Art History begin their course of study with a comprehensive survey of Western Art (ARH 131, 132) or introduction to Non-Western Art (ARH 133). The first half of the Western survey discusses art of prehistoric times through the Middle Ages; the second half of the survey covers Renaissance to modern Art. The beginning student may also take 200-level courses in the history of Non-Western Art, including Asian Art, Pre-Columbian Art, Native North American Art and African Art.

Upon completion of one or more of the introductory survey courses,
the student is eligible to enroll in upper level art history courses on
a variety of subjects; Art of Egypt and Mesopotamia, Greek Art, Roman Art, Early Christian and Byzantine Art, Medieval Art, Fifteenth Century Italian Art, Sixteenth Century Italian Art, Northern Renaissance Art, Eighteenth Century European Art, Baroque Art, Nineteenth Century European Art, Art in the U.S., Modern Art, and Contemporary Art.

Advanced students (normally seniors) may wish to take seminars in
Western and Non-Western Art; the topics or issues covered in these
seminars vary from semester to semester. Seminars combine lecture and discussion; emphasis is placed on research by the student in order to develop critical and theoretical thinking and to improve verbal and analytical skills. Museum Internships for a semester are also available to the advanced Art History student by special arrangement.

Total credits for Art History concentration: 36 credits (MA)
