Major Map: Art History
Effective Fall 2013
The art history major familiarizes students with the visual culture of societies from prehistory to the present day; strengthens students'
understanding of art and culture by examining, analyzing and interpreting works of art as primary evidence in relation to historical
events, politics, religion, social life, and other art forms; emphasizes the development of strong critical thinking, writing, and
presentation skills; teaches students a variety of scholarly art historical and archaeological methodologies; prepares majors for careers,
including those in the arts and archaeology; and promotes visual literacy and interdisciplinary study of a diverse array of sociopolitical
and theoretical issues.
Students are encouraged to pursue internships and Honors in the Major. Students may opt out of either ARH 201 or ARH 202 with an
AP exam score of 4 or higher. Transfer classes applied to the major will be considered on an individual basis. Graduate programs in Art
History require specialized language training; students should consult with their advisor about appropriate language options. Graduate
programs in the field of art conservation usually require applicants to have taken college-level chemistry through organic and have a
strong studio art background. See the departmental website for further information (http://www.rollins.edu/art).
Twelve (12) courses are required: five (5) core courses, three (3) area specializations, and four (4) 300/400-level electives.
