Roadmap Notes

Success Marker is a course the major department has identified as essential to making progress towards the degree.

1. B3 can be fulfilled by taking B1 or B2 with a lab component

2. The choice of FL should be the same for both semesters. Students pursuing a graduate degree in art history should choose German or French courses for the FL requirement to prepare for typical graduate-school requirements.

3. Choose at least two courses from each group and one additional course for a total of 7 courses.

Some approved elective courses can be used to fulfill requirements for minors. Consult minor-program requirements.
