Beginning with the Class of 2022, a concentration in art history consists of a minimum of ten courses: nine art history courses and at least one course in studio art. The nine art history courses must include: two 100-level courses; four 200-level courses; ARTH-330; an additional 300-level course; and a 400-level seminar to be taken during the senior year.

A minor in art history consists of any five courses in art history.

The Senior Project in art history includes an extensive research project completed in the context of a 400-level seminar and its oral presentation before the Department.

Students concentrating in art history will satisfy the Social, Structural, and Institutional Hierarchies (SSIH) requirement by completing any one of the following courses: ARTH-120; ARTH-145; ARTH-152; ARTH-207; ARTH-231; ARTH-240; ARTH-287; ARTH-295; ARTH-320; ARTH-330

Honors in art history will be awarded on the basis of a cumulative average of 3.7 (90) or above in coursework toward the concentration and distinguished achievement on the Senior Project.
