Art History, Concentration

All students concentrating in art history must participate in a Senior Concentration capstone project during the final semester of their senior year. This capstone project may consist of a presentation in a concentration symposium. Declaring the concentration and consultation with the art history professor and the Concentration Director is required to determine the capstone project and Concentration coursework.

The Art History Concentration provides a coherent set of experiences for students interested in pursuing this area short of a major. It requires 18/19 credits, including five art history courses, at least four advanced courses, one advanced studio course, and one credit of Art Gallery Practicum. Art history draws on direct study of artworks experienced in the studio, gallery, museum and the Rome Program to enhance the student’s understanding of the history of art.
