Thesis Requirement
As part of this degree program, students are to select with advisor’s approval either an art history or studio option.
The art history thesis consists of an analytical and historical approach to the study of a particular artist, art object, movement, or theme in the visual arts. In the thesis option, the student develops a thesis proposal in an area of art history acceptable to the program advisor, completes a research project, and prepares a formal thesis manuscript.
In the art studio option, the student prepares a one-person exhibition of a consistent body of work in the student’s area of interest and written documentation of the work and development.
