Honors Program | Undergraduate Studies
The honors program in history of art is designed to provide outstanding students with an opportunity to pursue creative independent study and research on a subject of his/her choosing in close consultation with a faculty advisor. Through their research projects and other activities, honors students explore current issues and debates in the History of Art, develop their own research and writing skills, and gain experience of what it is like to carry out advanced research. In addition, honors students are provided with opportunities to participate in related art historical activities, such as lectures, meetings with visiting art historians, and museum visits.
Admission to the honors program is by application. To be considered, a student must maintain a grade point average of 3.5 in History of Art and 3.3 overall. The core of the program is an honors thesis, A499, normally written during the senior year under the supervision of a faculty member in History of Art. This course work is in addition to the 30 credit hours required of the regular major.
