艺术 Major: Museum Studies Concentration

专业 in the Museum Studies track are required to declare their major by the end of their sophomore year. In conjunction with their advisors, they should articulate a clear question, 的想法, 主题, 问题, or line of inquiry in the major and choose courses that relate meaningfully to each other and to their overall program.

The Museum Studies Concentration requires five art history units, three art studio units, two units of museum studies, two electives appropriate to the student’s course of study, and a two-unit senior capstone project.

The two electives from outside the 艺术 Department may be chosen according to student interests, as appropriate to each student’s plan of study in relevant areas of study such as museum administration, conservation, 设计, education, 道德, community engagement, or history. 课程 must be approved by the advisor in advance. 

• Five units of 艺术 History

• Two units of Museum Studies:
  • GS247 Introduction to Museum Studies
  • One other Museum Studies course in General Studies (GS222; GS250, or other); a course from another department with a significant museum studies component may be chosen with approval from the student’s advisor.

• Three units of 艺术 Studio 

• Two electives in relevant disciplines chosen in consultation with the student’s advisor. The advisor must approve courses in advance. 

• Capstone: A two-block capstone comprising the one-block Senior Seminar course (AH412) and a Senior Thesis course (AH 415 or AH416).  The capstone project may take the form of a thesis, exhibition, collections- or education-oriented project, or other project developed in consultation with the student’s advisor.

For students double-majoring, please be aware of the all-college policy that in no case may more than three courses within the majors overlap.
