It is possible to do a 16-course paired major in History and Art History by counting an upper-level elective History course for one of the two upper-level elective courses required in the Art History major and counting an upper-level Art History course for one of the two elective upper-level History courses required in the History major. (A double major would be 18 courses.)

It is possible to complete a program in International Studies that combines a disciplinary major in art history with an additional “Concentration” in a geographical area of emphasis: East Asia, Europe, Latin America, or Global. Two courses on the geographical area of emphasis must be taken within the disciplinary major. The Concentration consists of three courses in the geographical area of emphasis; three courses in an appropriate language beyond the general education requirement; and a semester or longer study abroad experience. See the International Studies Program for further details.

It is possible to do a 19-course paired major in Business and Art History by counting one upper-level elective course in Business, Economics or Accounting as one of the two upper-level elective courses required in the Art History major, and counting an upper-level elective course in Art History in as one of the five upper-level elective courses required in Business, Economics or Accounting which are required for the Business major.
