The course outside history of art and visual culture taken to fulfill the upper-division major requirement should complement a student's art history program focus. Courses from the following departments are especially relevant: American studies, anthropology, film and digital media, history, history of consciousness, Latin American and Latino studies, literature, theater arts, and women's studies. Courses from other departments may be considered.
Senior comprehensive requirement. One of the two seminars (numbered 190-191) taken to meet the requirements for the major must be taken in the senior year to fulfill the senior comprehensive requirement. Within the context of an advanced seminar, this course provides supervised, culminatory work leading to the completion of a major coherent project that meets the standards of the senior level of achievement in art history. A signed petition indicating which course will be used to fulfill this requirement must be on file in the History of Art and Visual Culture office at the beginning of the quarter in which the seminar is taken.
