Art History Seminar

Catalog description

The seminar is intended for advanced art history majors, preferably seniors, and possibly others (such as students in the University Honors Program, Women’s Studies, Catholic Studies, etc.), depending on the subject and with permission of the instructor. Its purpose is to involve students in the intense study of a specific topic, selected by the faculty member teaching the course. In a typical seminar, the faculty member gives a series of introductory lectures on the topic. Students read a group of texts related to the topic and these are discussed in class. Students then present a seminar paper on a specific aspect of that topic. The paper, upon presentation, is also submitted as a final project.
