Bachelor of Arts

A major or a minor in Art History may be taken on the B.A. degree. The Art History program provides a broad undergraduate foundation in the humanities and the preparation necessary for professional careers in art. Potential careers open to Art History majors include teaching, research, art administration, art writing/criticism and museum and gallery professions.

The requirements for the major are Art 10053 and 10063, one 20000 level Art History course, plus 21 semester hours of additional Art History courses, including a minimum of 12 advanced hours. Additionally, 6 hours are required in studio courses (10103, 10113, 10123, 10133 or other courses approved by the department.) Majors are expected to enroll in a broad range of courses, including both pre-modern (pre-1800) and modern (post-1800).

Art History majors should pay particular attention to the language requirement - 6 semester hours at the 20000 level, or demonstrated proficiency. Those students intending to continue work at the graduate level should develop a proficiency in a second language-German, French, Italian or Spanish are recommended.

Field Trips. Field trips may be required by instructors as a part of the content of any course. Every effort will be made to ensure that these trips do not conflict with other portions of the student's schedule.

Honors Program. Art and Art History majors who plan to pursue Departmental Honors must be members of the Honors Program and should enroll in ART 30003 during their junior year and ART 40003 during the fall semester of their senior year.

Departmental Requirements

A minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA in art is a required prerequisite to junior and senior level studio art, graphic design and art education courses. After entrance into upper division courses, a minimum 2.5 GPA must be maintained as a prerequisite to further advanced enrollment. An annual qualifying portfolio review is required for all students wishing to continue in the Graphic Design program, whether they are Graphic Design majors or not; the student may be required to repeat courses or be removed from the Graphic Design program.

Transfer Students

Transfer students must have a 2.5 minimum GPA in art and must present a portfolio or photographs or slides of their work for evaluation by the Art Department at least one week prior to registration or at time of advisement in order to determine level of competency.

Declaration of a Major

The department requires students to declare a major during or before the second semester of their sophomore year. Students majoring in Studio Art must also declare a concentration in Painting, Photography, Printmaking, or Sculpture. Students planning to major in Studio Art or Art Education must submit a portfolio of work to department faculty. A portfolio that meets with faculty approval is required before permission will be given to register in upper division classes. Students who do not meet departmental standards may enroll for Art 20970, Intermediate Studio, for up to 6 semester hours of credit to improve both grade point average and portfolio before making another submission to the faculty. Once a concentration is declared, a faculty adviser from that area will be assigned, and a sequence of courses to be taken will be formulated.

Student Exhibitions

Both graduate and undergraduate student exhibitions take place at various times during the year in the J.M. Moudy Building Exhibition Hall. No work may be removed from exhibitions without departmental approval. Students must claim their work at the end of each exhibition. The Department cannot accept responsibility for the care, storage, or distribution of student work.
