The Bachelor of Arts degree program in art history is a 30-credit-hour major. An art history major should strive to achieve a broad knowledge of the development of the art of the Western world. Majors are required to take the Theories of Art seminar (three credit hours) and complete a final thesis in the fall of his or her senior year. The thesis, normally between 20 and 30 pages in length, is done under the direction of one of the regular art history faculty. It is expected to demonstrate the student’s ability to treat an important art historical topic in a manner that shows his or her writing skills and methodological training. It is expected that the thesis will be suitable for submission as a writing sample for students intending to apply to art history graduate programs.

Students with a first major in another department can complete a supplementary major in art history by taking one course in each of the four departmental areas, two art history seminars, and two art history electives (24 credit hours total). It is strongly recommended that the four-course distribution requirement be fulfilled with 200- or 300-level introductory courses taught by regular art history faculty on campus.
Courses taken for the second major or the minor cannot be counted in more than one university program.
