B.A. 艺术史，博物馆研究专业，学位要求

The 博物馆研究专业 within the 艺术历史 major provides students with pre-professional training to begin their careers in museums, 艺术画廊, 档案, 历史遗迹, 还有其他收集的机构, 保存, 显示, 解读视觉文化的对象. 通过广泛的实地考察和与博物馆专业人士的对话, students develop a robust understanding of the operating practices of museums as holistic institutions. Required internships and practicum training courses provide résumé-ready work experiences and networking opportunities in local museums and galleries. 学生们选修艺术史的课程, 以及其他学科的两门必修课, 发展严谨的研究技巧，以妥善保护艺术品, 舞台上展览, 并与公众沟通. Several course options delve deeply into the current challenges and opportunities faced by museums – such as reckoning with calls for object repatriation, 非殖民化, 博物馆内的抗议, and technological advances – preparing students to grapple with those issues on the job in the contemporary museum world.

The Museum Studies track in the 艺术历史 major is particularly ideal for these career paths:

  • 博物馆或相关机构的工作, 比如档案, 历史遗迹, 或者其他收藏机构.
  • 画廊、拍卖行或艺术咨询领域.
  • 艺术 保护 (note: Chemistry courses are also required for admission to graduate degree programs in 艺术 Conservation. Please talk with the 艺术历史 Director of 本科阶段的学习 for more advice).

基础课程. Foundations courses include the three-part introductory survey sequence (ARHS 1300, arh 1301, 和ARHS 1302), which provide an overview of major art historical developments from prehistory to the present. 学生必须选修一门调查课程(ARHS 1300), arh 1301, 或ARHS 1302)完成3个学分的基础要求. This requirement can also be fulfilled with ARHS 1303 or ARHS 1304 (which are primarily used for AP or transfer credit).

此外，3个学时的基础完成的调查, 学生必须再修一门1000级ARHS课程.

时间性/挑战经典课程. 临时性课程是高级课程(3000), 4000, or 5000 level) art history courses that offer frameworks for a broad understanding of temporal dimensions: a duration of time, 某些领域对其他领域的影响力, 从过去延伸到现在，反之亦然, 或者是随时间的递归问题. The objects and narratives that constitute the history of art are in constant flux. 从历史上看, 我们的学科专注于艺术作品, 艺术家, and ways of seeing that emerged from the European tradition and has privileged the viewpoints of individuals who were (among other things) white, 男性, 异性恋, 和富有的. Courses with the Challenging the Canon designation explore artistic objects and traditions that challenge the validity of such an exclusionary canon and narrow perspective.

博物馆研究课程. Museum Studies courses are art history courses that focus primarily or exclusively on museums as institutions and spaces where artworks are 显示ed, 解释, 和研究. 与博物馆特别相关的技术和技术, 比如艺术品是如何制作的，以及如何策展, 保护, 以及解释技术, 这些课程的重点是什么. Of the 12 credit hours required, only 3 credit hours can be taken at the 1000 level. 只接受带有ARHS前缀的课程.

研究与方法. All 艺术历史 majors are required to take ARHS 4399 -艺术史的研究和方法. Students are encouraged to take this course before enrolling in another advanced (4000 level) 艺术历史 course.

必需的研讨会. 这些小, advanced (4000 level) art history classes are reading and writing intensive and offer the occasion to think critically and carefully about the dynamics of historical change and to engage with issues and debates in art history.

Professional 实习 or Practicums in an 艺术/Archaeology Museum, 艺术画廊, or Archive. 实习可以根据ARHS 4311获得课程学分, 哪一项要求学生申请并获得实习offer, 在实习期间至少工作150小时, and submit a 10 page paper detailing the training received and the professional growth achieved by the student through the internship. 为了获得ARHS 4311规定的实习学分, documentation must be submitted to the 艺术历史 Department prior to the first week of the semester; review and approval is at the department’s discretion.

Practicum courses are offered directly by the 艺术历史 Department: ARHS 4303 艺术 Museum Teaching Practicum or ARHS 4305 艺术画廊 Practicum. Each of these practicum courses provides students with training in a specific art history career and culminates in a real-world work product.

工作室艺术. 学生需要修3个学分的工作室艺术课程.
