May be elected as a departmnetal concentration program Prerequisites to Concentration. Any two courses below the 300 level, one of which must be chosen from among the courses numbered in the 101-110 sequence. One 100-level course can be met through AP, upon approval by a History of Art advisor. Each prerequisite should, if possible, be from a different subfield or group, chosen from those listed below.
Students are otherwise free to choose whatever they wish to make up their concentration.
Chronological and Geographical Distribution Requirements. History of Art at the University of Michigan offers a culturally interlaced and multi-centric program, encompassing the histories of the visual and architectural arts in a diversity of temporal and geographical locations. Concentrators must ensure that at least three of their courses adequately cover some of this rich diversity. To do this, students must take courses covering each of at least three chronologically different periods, and courses covering each of at least three geographical regions. Hence, three courses, carefully chosen, will cover these distribution requirements because each will cover both a different chronological and geographic area.
