The department firmly believes that art is fundamental to liberal arts education and that the opportunities provided for the study of artistic forms and concepts reflect the College's commitment to creativity.

?Students learn to discriminate between the processes of production, interpretation, and evaluation and to think creatively about all aspects of artistic problem solving. Through the examination and creation of original works of art, students learn to contextualize works of art and understand the relationship between praxis, theory, and history.

Students who successfully complete a major in Art History will be able to:

Demonstrate a general knowledge of the monuments and principal artists of all major art periods of the past, including:

A broad understanding of the art of the twentieth century;
Acquaintance with the art history of non-Western cultures, knowledge in greater depth and precision of several cultures and periods in the history of art;
A concentration in at least one area at an advanced seminar level;
Study of theory and criticism using a variety of analytical critical approaches.

Utilize tools and techniques of scholarship, including:

Writing in various formats;
Speaking in various formats, using appropriate presentation technology;
Research methods, proper citation methods and legal use of reproductions of imagery,
Production of a senior project that considers a single work of art or a narrowly defined body of works in their historical context, analyzed from a distinctive authorial point of view based upon critical and theoretical insights.

Art majors are required to have a GPA of at least 2.0 in art at graduation. All art courses taken at Allegheny on a letter grade basis are included in the calculation with the exception of repeated courses for which only the most recent grade counts. All art courses must be taken on the letter grade basis (except?ART 600, which is only offered Credit/No Credit). Under exceptional circumstances, one additional course taken Credit/No Credit may be presented for the major with permission of the chair of the department. Typically, this exception is made when a student has taken an art course CR/NC before declaring a major in the department.
