Other Requirements and Recommendations for HAA majors


  • A GPA of at least 2.00 in all department courses is required for graduation with a major in HAA.
  • Any of the following may prove useful for the required 12-credit Dietrich School related area: ancient or modern languages, philosophy (particularly aesthetics), cultural and intellectual history, studio arts, music, anthropology, sociology, and psychology of perception.
  • There is no language requirement beyond that required by Dietrich School, but a reading competency in a second language is desirable for some field course readings. Graduate programs in the history of art and architecture also require fluency in at least one second language for admission to their programs. If a student’s high school language preparation does not provide this competency, he or she should consult the art history advisor concerning preferred languages.
  • With the exception of HAA 1901 , HAA 1903 , HAA 1904 , and HAA 1919 , courses for the major should not be taken with the S/NC option.
