Art History

Designed to offer an appreciation of the visual arts for those who may not have the time or the desire to pursue a full degree and to provide specialized knowledge in the field of art history for persons in complementary professions such as journalists, decorators, business managers, or studio art teachers

Awarded by the Division of Continuing and International Education and the Department of Art and Art History, this certificate program serves to enhance the cultural background of those who have already acquired a degree in another subject and to introduce art history to those who may be considering a career in this field. A certificate will be granted upon completion of 18 credit hours in art history. Eligibility for the Certificate Program in Art History requires that the candidate has already completed the course prerequisites for upper level art history courses (ARH 131 and ARH 132.)
