The Art History, Critical Curatorial Studies, and Built Environment Studies programs aim to give students diverse learning experiences through a mix of lectures and seminars. For those considering an Art History major, learning foreign languages is highly encouraged, particularly for students aiming for graduate studies in the field. It's recommended that upperclassmen avoid concentrating solely on courses covering a single geographic area. A minimum 3.0 GPA is required for independent study in Art History. Students have the opportunity to complete an Honors Thesis in Art History, with interested candidates needing to submit a detailed thesis proposal and bibliography in their chosen specialization by the end of their junior year, developed in collaboration with their faculty advisor.
