Foundation Core Requirements (21 hours):
Foundation courses are meant to expose students to a variety of approaches and philosophies of art making and are anchored in an understanding of art history through lecture and seminar courses.
Students are advised to complete all 100-level courses as soon as possible and follow closely with 200-level courses, other art history electives, and interdisciplinary electives. Major Requirements (27 hours):
- Six art history electives—any Art History course beyond the foundation courses may count as an elective. In addition, courses with an art historical component such as PHIL 290 , the Rome Interim program, and certain classes on study abroad programs may also apply. All courses not fulfilled through Dominican University, such as those attended through summer programs at other universities, must receive approval from the art history advisor
- At least one course beyond those courses taken to fulfill core area requirements from two of the following areas. When possible, these should be at the 200-level or above: American Studies, Communication Arts and Sciences (particularly film-related courses), History, Philosophy, or Sociology. Other areas, such as history of dress, may apply with approval of department. Students should attempt to choose electives that will inform the topic of their senior thesis
Additional Requirements:
Study of a modern foreign language through the intermediate level (course 211 or equivalent). With approval of the program, students may substitute one year each of two different languages to fulfill this requirement. Students who are considering graduate school in art history may be advised to take at least one year of German.
A minimum of 18 hours in the major field must be completed at Dominican. This must include ARTH 446 . |
