Requirements

A concentration in Art (Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, and Photography/Graphics/New Media) consists of eleven courses; ten courses in the studio discipline and one course in art history.

An Art major’s specific course requirements depend on their area of concentration (See Required Courses below). Art majors have the option of taking a second art history course in place of one of their studio art electives with the permission of the department. All Art majors are required to take the Senior Seminar (ARTS 499) course in the fall semester of senior year and to exhibit a selection of their work in the Senior Majors Exhibition the following spring. The seminar enables majors to articulate the concepts in their art and to organize a strong portfolio within their areas of concentration. Participation in the Senior Majors Exhibition teaches students to present their work effectively to the Georgetown community and the wider public.

No more than two courses taken outside the Department of Art and Art History (for example cross-listed courses, study abroad courses, and transferred credits) may count toward the minor in Art. One of the six courses for the Art minor may be in Art History. It is possible to major in Art and minor in Art History, or vice versa.
