Art History Major

Meet the Faculty

Students may major in art history or studio art. Majors take a set of core courses, then choose electives. Minors complete six courses in art history or studio art.

This sequence of required core courses enables students to develop skills, concepts, and critical awareness about art and society.

Art History

The art history major familiarizes students with the visual culture of societies from prehistory to the present day; strengthening 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 students for a variety of careers, including those in the arts and archaeology, and promotes visual literacy and interdisciplinary study of a diverse array of sociopolitical and theoretical issues

Major Requirements

Students are encouraged to pursue internships and Honors in the Major. Students may opt out of either ARH 110 or ARH 120  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 conservations 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: six (6) core courses, three (3) intermediate electives, and three (3) advanced electives with breadth distribution in three of four areas: Ancient/Medieval, Early Modern, Modern, and Global.
