a. Rationale for creation, revision, or deletion:
For
Art History Major
1.
The current program
requires that students take ARTH 153 and 154; the proposed revision changes
this to a recommendation that students take either 153 or 154 or both.
2.
The current program
requires that students take at least one course in all of the following five
areas of art history: 1) Ancient art, 2) Medieval art, 3) Renaissance art, 4)
Baroque art, 5) Modern art; the proposed revision changes this to four of five
areas, and changes the definition of the areas (SEE BELOW).
3. The
current program requires that students take ARTH 301 and at least one 400-level
seminar; the proposed revision continues the requirement, but adds a
requirement for at least one additional course at the 300 level or higher.
The
rationale for the change may be summarized in this way. We would like to encourage more of our
majors to move more quickly to more advanced courses, which will comprise
smaller classes, with more and more extended writing assignments; changes 1 and
3 address this issue.
We
also recognize that many of our students are only attracted to art history late
in their college careers, after taking several 200-level or higher classes, and
these students may commonly benefit more from additional advanced work rather
than taking the introductory course late in their career; change 1 addresses
this issue. We would like to give our
students, and our faculty, greater flexibility in taking, and in offering, more
advanced undergraduate course with an emphasis on discussion and writing;
changes 2 and 3 address this issue. We
would also like to encourage students to have at least one significant course
in an area outside the western European and American tradition; change 2
addresses this issue.
b. Summary of program:
Students
wishing to complete a major in Art History must take a minimum of 33 and a
maximum of 45 credits in Art History, and must complete the following specific
requirements:
Students
must take at least one course (at any level at or above the 200 level) in EACH
OF four of the following five areas of art history: 1) Before the year 1400; 2)
1400-1700; 3) 1700-1900 4) 1900-present; 5) African, Asian or Islamic art. Students must take ARTH 301 (Literature,
Theory and Methods of Art History), if possible during their junior year, at
least one 400-level (or higher) seminar course, and at least one additional
course at the 300 or 400 level.
No
more than two 100-level courses may be counted toward the 33 minimum credits in
art history; it is
recommended
that students wishing to major in art history should take either ARTH 153 or
ARTH 154 or both as early in their course work as possible.
Students
are required to take ENGL 202 (Biblical and Classical Literature), and at least
one course in History at the 200-300-level or above, the course to be decided
in consultation with the student's adviser.
Although
there is no formal foreign language requirement other than that of the College
of Arts and Science, students wishing to pursue graduate work in art history or
to work in any art-history related area are strongly urged to attain a working
reading knowledge of at least one of the standard languages of art history,
German, French, and Italian.
