U-AHVA-AB - Art History and Visual Arts (AB)

A combined major in art history and visual arts requires at least fourteen courses. These include: Visual Arts 199 (Drawing) and Art History 104 (Exploring Art and Architecture); and twelve upper-level courses. The twelve upper-level courses are to be divided as follows: 

• Art History: Six upper-level courses distributed across the fields of ancient, medieval, Renaissance/ Baroque, modern, and non-Western (pre-Columbian, African, Asian). Students must take at least one course in four of these five areas. At least one of these courses must be a 500- to 699-level seminar.

• Visual Arts: Six 200-level courses including a minimum of one course in at least three of the following primary areas of instruction: arts of the moving image, graphic design, painting, photography, print making, and sculpture. Students are encouraged to enroll as seniors in an independent study and, during the spring of that year, in Visual Arts 390S (Special Topics in Visual Arts).
