The minor in Art History has been created in order to fulfill a need expressed by
students in both
ARHU and in other colleges and schools, who want to study Art History, but who
do not plan to
consider Art History as either a major (33 credits) or part of a double major (33
credits).
CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
The minor in Art History introduces students to a range of art-historical periods,
problems, and
methodologies and is intended at once to broaden and deepen the student's
knowledge of arts and
humanities.
Students are required to take nine credits of 200-level surveys in the history of
art. They may choose
any three (3) broad surveys from among the following 3-credit courses:
ARTH 200: Art of the Western World to 1300
ARTH 201: Art of the Western World after 1300
ARTH 250: Art and Archaeology of Ancient America
ARTH 275: Art and Archaeology of Africa
ARTH 290: Arts of Asia
In addition, students are required to take nine (9) credits of upper-level art
history courses. They may
choose any three (3) upper-division (300- or 400-level) 3-credit courses in Art
History (ARTH
prefix).
A total of six (6) credits may be transferred into the minor from other
institutions or programs. These
transferred credits include those from study-abroad programs. Study-abroad
credit requires the prior
approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
A total of 18 credits is required. All courses presented for the minor must be
passed with a grade of C
or better.
OVERSIGHT AND RECORD KEEPING
Oversight of this minor program will be through the normal academic processes
of the Department of
Art History and Archaeology. The Department's Director of Undergraduate
Studies and the Departmental advisors will be responsible for ensuring that students are
properly advised and that
records are appropriately kept.
