艺术史学士学位

艺术史系提供艺术史专业和辅修专业。艺术史是对来自世界各个地区和所有历史时期的艺术品和其他视觉人工制品的研究。因此，以全球眼光看待的艺术史本科课程是人文学科中最多样化的学科之一。通过艺术史，学生将学习如何描述和解释一系列对象，包括雕塑，绘画，摄影，建筑以及“新媒体”，例如视频和表演艺术。这些技能，以及该计划对写作和口头表达的高度关注，使学生能够在视觉交流变得越来越重要的时候，进行批判性思考并清晰地表达自己。
The undergraduate program in History is designed to develop critical intelligence and to foster an awareness of ourselves and our world through the study of the past. The Department presents a variety of approaches to history, and each emphasizes basic disciplinary skills: weighing evidence, constructing logical arguments, and exploring the role of theory in historical analysis and human action.<br><br>The Department presents a variety of approaches to history, and each emphasizes basic disciplinary skills: weighing evidence, constructing logical arguments, and exploring the role of theory in historical analysis and human action.<br><br>The Department offers a number of lower-division courses open to majors as well as non-majors, most of which fulfill part of the UCI general education requirements.<br><br>Students who are interested in the study of history but are majoring in other disciplines may minor in History. The minor incorporates elements of the Department's program for majors but allows students enough flexibility to pursue programs in other departments and schools.<br><br>Upper-division courses range from the examination of individual nation-states (e.g., Chinese history), to studies of the relations among nation-states (e.g., Emergence of the Modern Middle East), to historical analyses of political, socio-economic, and cultural factors (e.g., Women in the United States). Students are also provided the opportunity for small-group learning experiences through colloquia. The colloquia are conducted as discussion groups, involve close reading and analysis of primary and secondary texts, and require writing.
