Overview:
The Department of Fine Arts offers courses in the history and criticism of the visual arts in major world cultures.

Special Information:
For all courses that have prerequisites, Gallatin students must fulfill the preliminary requirements before they enroll. Once they have had the necessary introductory courses, they may enroll in advanced courses, just as CAS students may. The department almost never make exceptions to this rule. If there is some reason why a student hopes to do something normally not available or permitted, s/he may contact Maya Dean. Permission from the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Art History will be required.

Only majors may enroll in Art History seminars. On rare occasions, when a student from Gallatin has sufficient background, the department MAY make an exception but only at the start of the semester, when all senior, Art History majors have been accommodated. Priority is given to Art History seniors for these courses because they are required for the Art History degree. If, however, at the start of a semester there are open places in a seminar, and if a Gallatin student has sufficient background to profit from the seminar and to participate in it, the student should contact Maya Dean. Permission from the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Art History, as well as the instructor, will be required for enrollment.
