Students may, with permission of the Art Department, replace one of the three required art history courses with an appropriate substitute taught by another department.

Students wishing to major in art should submit a portfolio for departmental review while enrolled in their fifth or sixth art course. Prospective art majors should satisfy the following interim requirements: two courses by the end of the first-year year; five by the end of the sophomore year; and nine by the end of the junior year. Students may take art courses at any level, subject to completion of prerequisites and availability of space.

Senior art majors are required to present a Thesis Exhibition of their work in their area(s) of concentration. Students must provide photographic or video documentation of the Senior Thesis Exhibition for the departmental collection.

Some courses in studio art and in art history are not offered every semester. Students should plan ahead with their major adviser to assure availability of required courses. Students wishing to study abroad are strongly encouraged to do so during the fall semester of their junior year.
