Overview
This minor provides students with an art historical education that is balanced and diverse culturally, temporally, and geographically. It allows students to choose from a range of introductory courses that cover a variety of regions, cultures, and periods.
Students must meet the following course requirements for a total of 18 hours*:
- 3 hrs: ARTH 110 Introduction to the History of Art and Visual Culture
- 3 hrs: ARTH course which focuses on a subject outside of Europe and the Modern Americas
- 6 hrs: ARTH courses at the 200, 300, or 400 level
- 3 hrs: ARTH course at the 300 or 400 level
- 3 hrs: ARTH 400-level designated seminar course
* A maximum of one course from either the History of Architecture or the History of Landscape Architecture will count toward the requirements of the Art History minor. The minor requires at least 6 hours of advanced course credit distinct from credit earned for a major or any other minor. A maximum of one course from other universities will satisfy the requirements for upper-level Art History courses.
