Department of Art History
Cultural Heritage and Preservation Studies (CHAPS)

All Art History Majors must take the department's one-term CAPSTONE SEMINAR IN ART HISTORY (082:491, 082:492). The seminar should be completed during the junior or senior year. The course content depends upon the individual instructor, but all students present an oral report and write a research paper. Art History Majors may also choose and are strongly encouraged to take a second one-term capstone seminar in Art History.  With permission of the UPD, this second seminar can be used to fulfill an area requirement related to the topic of the seminar. To enroll in the seminars, majors must obtain a special permission number.  The seminars are typically not open to sophomores, but interested students should contact the UPD.
