- Upper-level art history courses taken at other institutions or through study abroad must be approved by the student’s art history advisor (preferably prior to being taken), and must not overlap significantly with any other upper-level art history course(s) counted toward the major.
- Except under special circumstances approved by the student’s art history advisor, at least 6 of the 10 courses (24 of the 38– 40 credit hours) must be fulfilled through coursework offered by the Department of Humanities and Modern Languages.
- AP credit cannot be applied toward the major.
