Art History - Oglethorpe University

Art History from Oglethorpe University is a Campus Bachelor Art History degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The art history major provides students with an intellectual, aesthetic, and historical foundation for the study of all visual arts, including architecture, sculpture, painting, photography, and nascent media. The courses which make up the art history major have been designed to be integrally related to the liberal arts experience, complementing other courses and majors which are already offered at Oglethorpe by providing comparative historical, cultural, and philosophical reference points, while at the same time functioning as a rigorous, free-standing discipline. The curriculum prepares students to go on to graduate school in art history and for careers such as museum work, education, and art consulting. Students majoring in art history must complete a minimum of eight art history courses (one of which must be Modern Art History), two studio courses (in any two different media), and one foreign language course at the second semester elementary-level or higher, for a total of 11 courses and 44 semester hours. All art history courses have COR 104 Art and Culture as a prerequisite. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. As part of the requirement for the art history major, a maximum of two courses from the list of electives may be taken.
