Upper-Division Requirements
Ten 5-credit courses, as follows:
Nine upper-division history of art and visual culture courses:
100A Readings in Visual Culture
Numbered 101-149 - four courses
Numbered 150-189 - two courses required
Numbered 190-191 - two courses required, one of which must satisfy the senior comprehensive requirement (see below). Ninth course numbered 101 or above. A student must study with four different faculty members, as well as study visual cultures in a variety of historical eras and cultural settings, in courses numbered 100-199 (refer to the course descriptions).
Tenth course: one course from another discipline, approved by a faculty adviser. The course outside history of art and visual culture taken to fulfill the upper-division major requirement should complement a student's art history program focus. Courses from the following departments are especially relevant: American studies, anthropology, film and digital media, history, history of consciousness, Latin American and Latino studies, literature, theater arts, and women's studies. Courses from other departments may be considered.
Senior comprehensive requirement. One of the two seminars (numbered 190-191) taken to meet the requirements for the major must be taken in the senior year to fulfill the senior comprehensive requirement. Within the context of an advanced seminar, this course provides supervised, culminatory work leading to the completion of a major coherent project that meets the standards of the senior level of achievement in art history. Students receive Honors, Pass, or Fail for this course. A signed petition indicating which course will be used to fulfill this requirement must be on file in the History of Art and Visual Culture office at the beginning of the quarter in which the seminar is taken.
