Academic Standing in Fine Arts Art History Courses
Students must receive a grade of C or higher in all art history courses. Any course for which the student did not receive a full C must be retaken or considered an elective. In the latter case, a different art history course at the same level and category may be substituted for the deficient course.
Specific Requirements for Major
In addition to FINA-A 101, FINA-A 102, FINA-A 150, and FINA-A 400, students will choose an additional six courses (18 hours) from the following lists. At least one must be from a European derived tradition and at least one from an Indigenous tradition.
