All students must apply to Undergraduate Admissions.
The Department now offers the B.A. in Art History and a B.F.A. in Art History
which permits a student to double major in studio and art history.
The B.A. in Art History
Art History majors must take a total of 36 credit hours
in the department, including required courses at the General College level
(Art 31, 32, and one studio course--either Art 02 or Art 04). Students
should take an additional elective in Art History from the introductory-level
courses numbered 20-44.
For the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree the maximum number
of semester hours of Art History and Studio Art that can be taken is 39.
Of the Art History courses required for the major, at least six semester
hours must be in courses at the intermediate level (Art 50 through 89)
and six semester hours at the advanced level (Art 90-198). In addition,
a minimum of 4 electives must be selected from Art History courses at the
intermediate level and above (Art 50 to Art 198). A maximum of two
cross-listed courses taught by faculty outside the department will count
toward the major.
The Minor in Art History
Anyone who plans to minor in art history should first
consult with the undergraduate advisor. A minor in Art History consists
of 5 courses in art history for a total of 15.0 credit hours. Two or three
courses should be selected from the introductory level (30-44) and the
remainder from the intermediate or advanced level (50-198). Restrictions:
Cross-listed
courses in another department, and studio courses cannot be included in
the minor.
NEW! The B.F.A.
with Emphasis in Art History
The B.F.A. with Emphasis in Art History is a new degree
offered by the Studio
Art part of the Department which enables undergraduate students
to take
what is in effect a double major in Art History and Studio
Art.
The Honors Program is open to students with a minimum
3.2 GPA who have demonstrated overall excellence in the discipline. Honors
are generally pursued in the senior year. Students enroll in the Honors
course (Art 90, fall; Art 91, spring) through the Honors Office located
in Steele Building. This should be done after consultation with the faculty
honors advisor and the department honors advisor. For more information,
see the University Honors booklet and the departmental honors announcement.
Independent Study
With the permission of a Departmental faculty supervisor,
a student may register for Art 98 (Directed Readings in Art History) for
3 semester hours. This may be repeated for credit.
Transfer Students
The University accepts 6 semester hours in Art from students
transferring from other institutions. In order to obtain additional transfer
credits, students must meet with the department advisor. A minimum of 18
semester hours in Art History must be completed at UNC-Chapel Hill or through
a Study Abroad program sponsored by UNC-CH.
Courses Overseas
Students may be credited with a maximum of two courses
taken abroad from non-UNC programs, provided that these courses are approved
by the Department.
Internships
Students are encouraged to pursue internships either
at local, regional, or national arts institutions. Information is available
about many internship opportunities in the department office. In order
to receive academic credit for an internship, students must arrange in
advance, a directed study course (Art 98) with a faculty member in the
department.
