A total of nine courses combined from the Art History department and the list of Integrated Visual Arts Courses (found here: http://creativity.emory.edu/home/student-resources/ivac-courses.html)
a) Five Integrated Visual Arts courses, one of which may be a semester of the Foundations in Art Practices ARTVIS 111/112 (though enrollment preference will be given to Art History majors and minors), and at least two of which must be upper-level courses.
b) Two Art History courses or alternatively, one Art History and one cross-listed Archeology course. One of the Art History courses must be in the modern period (19th century to the present); ARTHIST 102 fulfills this requirement and is highly recommended.
c) One upper level topical course in an area related to the student's focus. Each department will determine what coursework is relevant in their area. View the list of approved upper level topical courses by area.
d) ARTVIS 490 Senior Seminar. A spring semester required class for all seniors enrolled in the co-major. This course will provide a formal structure in which the senior students will develop, discuss and present their ideas for their final project and presentation.
Admission
Students interested in a co-major in Integrated Visual Arts will submit an application and a portfolio to the Integrated Visual Arts Admissions committee in their sophomore year.
