Additional Notes


  • Minor outside of ARH required for the major.
  • Students are encouraged to take the introductory courses as well as the two art history surveys early in their program.
  • A maximum of 9 S.H. may double count between Gen Ed and the major
  • Foreign Language requirements:
    • Students are required to demonstrate intermediate-level proficiency in a language other than English. Intermediate-level proficiency is demonstrated by successful completion of a 4th semester language course (FL 1050 or 1060). A higher level language course that requires one of these courses as a prerequisite may also be used to fulfill the requirement.
    • Placement exams are required for several languages. Should a student place higher than the beginning level, any lower level requirement listed on the four year guide will need to be replaced with a free elective if needed for total hours for the degree. Please consult with your advisor for more information.
    • NOTE: Appalachian’s language placement test is designed for placement purposes only, and a score on this test alone is not sufficient to demonstrate intermediate-level proficiency.
  • Residency Requirements:
    • 30 hours must be from ASU (25% of the credit hours required for the degree).
    • 18 hours in the major must be from ASU.
    • 9 hours in the minor must be from ASU. (See the relevant department for the total number of hours required for the minor)
