Students who major in art history are expected to develop the following competencies:
1. Proficiency in analysis of artworks as demonstrated in examinations and papers.
2. Proficiency in art historical research as demonstrated in papers.
3. Knowledge of key monuments of Western art, terminology related to that art, and understanding of the cultural context in which the art was produced.
4. understanding of art historical methodologies.
Competencies 1, 2 and 4:
During the semester when the student plans to graduate, all art history faculty will review an unrevised term paper the student wrote in the last term enrolled. If the paper is judged unsatisfactory, by the end of the sixth week of that final semester, the student will submit to all art history faculty a term paper that the student writes for a current art history class. If the second paper is unsatisfactory, the student will be given a special research paper assignment for all art history faculty to evaluate.
During the semester when the student plans to graduate, a 100-point test will be given. If the results are unsatisfactory, the student must retake the exam until it is passed.
Record of success in passing the review will be furnished to the student and recorded for the School of Visual Arts. Unsatisfactory reviews will delay graduation.
