Students who declare a major in Art History and Archaeology must satisfy the following Requirements for Major in Art History and Archaeology.

Questions should be discussed with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Alicia Walker, Kemper 216, 935-4487 (E-mail: awwalker@wustl.edu; mail box in Art History office, 210 Kemper).

Declaring the Major
Students should obtain and fill out a Declaration of Major form from the office of the College of Arts and Sciences, South Brookings 205. The form must be signed by the current Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Art History and Archaeology.

Introductory Courses
All majors should take the two one-semester "introductions," during their freshman or sophomore years. These courses serve as prerequisites for all upper-level lecture courses. They may be taken in any sequence. No substitutes will be accepted, except for transfer credits.
L01 111 Introduction to Asian Art (spring)
L01 112 Introduction to Western Art (fall)

Major Credit Hours
All majors must taje at least 24 upper-level (300 or 400) art history credits. One 200-level course may substitute for an upper-level course. Intro to World Archaeology (L52 200) does not count as an Ancient distribution (see below) but may count toward the major. Courses taught in the Art or Architecture schools DO NOT count towards an art history major unless they are cross-lised as art history courses. Freshman seminars will NOT count toward the major. Courses for the major may not be taken with the credit/no credit or pass/fail option. Students must earn a grade of C- or better in all classes.

Distribution
Majors must take at least one upper-level course in three of the following five broad areas:
(a) Ancient and Medieval
(b) Renaissance and Baroque
(c) Modern European and American
(d) Non-western
(e) Architecture

Seminars
Majors must take two 400-level seminars, which are the capstone experiences of the major. These courses need to be home-based (not cross-listed from another department). The 300-level lecture courses often serve as prerequisites for these seminars. Seminars should be with two different faculty members, although they may both be in the same distribution area. These seminars are usually taken in the senior year, but may also be taken in the junior year, if the student has the preparation appropriate to the course. The university's writing intensive requirement should be completed prior to taking a seminar.

Language and Fine Arts
Students contemplating graduate school are urged to take significant course work in foreign languages. There is no specific langauge requirement for the major, although we encourage minors in a foreign language or double majors in languages and art history. Students are also encouraged, but not required to take courses in the School of Art to learn more about the techniques of working artists.
