There are two options for an art history major:
1) Art History major
(10 courses total: six art history courses; Aesthetics or an additional
art history course; two studio courses, one in a two-dimensional and the
other in a three-dimensional medium; and Senior Seminar in Art History)
2) Art History major
with a concentration in Museum Studies
(10 courses total: five art history courses; Museum Studies; two Museum
Studies internships; Introduction to Management or Fundamentals in Marketing;
Senior Seminar in Art History)
You can also choose
a double major in Art History and Studio Art.
An ideal sequence
for the art history major would move from Survey of Ancient and Medieval
Art and the beginning studio courses to other period and topical courses
in art history and aesthetics. The Junior Art History Seminar is not required
but is strongly recommended. For students planning on doing graduate work
in art history, either German or French is recommended. At least fifty
percent of coursework for the major must be taken at Millsaps, and a grade
of C- or higher is required for all courses in the major. Students may
count four semester hours of work in Honors or Ford Fellowship towards
the major.
For tips about writing
art history papers, check out the link at the right that relates specifically
to courses at Millsaps. Also take a look at some of the award-winning
art history papers! More general information can be found at the useful
site Writing in the
Fine Arts, or in the book by Suzanne Hudson and Nancy Noonan-Morrissey,
The Art of Writing about Art (Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Group, 2002),
available in Elise Smith's office.
Requirements for
Art History Minors: :
1) Art History minor
(4 courses: four art history courses, one of which may be a Core topics
course taught by art department faculty)
2) Museum Studies
minor (4 courses: two art history courses, Museum Studies, and one Museum
Studies internship)
Since you can only
get a minor outside your major, if you’re a Studio major you could
get a minor in Art History or Museum Studies (but not Digital Arts), and
if you’re an Art History major you could get a minor in Studio Art
or Digital Arts (but not Museum Studies).
