Overview
Temple University students majoring in other subjects—including Tyler students pursuing Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees—may pursue a Minor in Art History. Students may complete much of the minor at the Rome campus or all of the minor at the Temple University Main or Japan Campus.
A minor in Art History is intended to provide the student with a deepened understanding of critical theory and the history of art, to develop skills in the discipline of the study of art history, to allow the pursuit of an interdisciplinary course of study, or to prepare themselves for an advanced degree.
