An integral part of a liberal arts curriculum, the courses of the art and art history department encourage aesthetic awareness and appreciation by emphasizing the interdependence of art-making, art history, and other creative and intellectual fields. A major is offered in either studio art or art history, and certification for teaching K-12 is available in conjunction with the studio art major. A student may complete a double major in studio art and art history by fulfilling the requirements for each major. Students planning to major in studio art and/or art history should take the introductory courses required for the major (Art 1 and 2I, Art History 10 and 11) in their freshman and sophomore years. Students may take a maximum of 21 credits in the art department, provided that no more than 15 are in either studio art or art history.
