Art History Honors

A student who wishes to graduate with honors in art history must achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.5 in the major and earn an A or A- in a two-semester thesis that is more substantial than that of students not graduating with honors. The honors thesis must be proposed to the student’s advisor by the end of the first semester of the senior year. The honors student will write and then orally defend the thesis before a faculty honors committee comprising at least three members-the two thesis readers and an additional member to be selected by the student in consultation with the advisor and/or first reader.
