Core Requirement


Any course numbered below 320 will satisfy the arts requirement.

Cultural Diversity Requirement


Art 102, 226, 228, and 332 are options for fulfilling the cultural diversity requirement.

Major Requirement


A major is offered in art with emphasis in studio or art history. In either case the requirement is eleven courses, to be divided as follows:

Emphasis in Studio


Two courses in art history, one of which must be Art 100, and nine studio courses, including Art 397 in the junior year and Art 401 in the senior year.

Emphasis in Art History


Two courses in studio below the 300-level, and nine art history courses, including 100, 400, and 402.

Honors Requirement


Students having a 3.2 overall average and at least a 3.5 average in the major may apply to the faculty for participation in the honors program.

Honors in Studio


The exhibition requirement under Art 401 will be completed in the fall semester of the senior year. In the spring semester the student will present a second exhibition of new work based on a consistent series and must score a grade of A on the oral examination. All work for honors in studio will be in addition to both the major requirements and the requirements for graduation from Davidson College.

Honors in Art History


Candidates for honors must have a 3.2 overall GPA by the end of the junior year and a 3.5 GPA in art by the time of graduation. For requirements, see Art 496. If, in the opinion of the faculty the thesis does not warrant “Honors,” a grade other than “A” will be assigned for Art 496. Further details can be found on the department’s Web pages at www.davidson.edu/art.

The department maintains Web pages that introduce the art department and provide links to other sites of interest to the student of art.
