Purpose: The Art History specialization is designed for students who plan to transfer to a college or university for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History.
Transfer Information: Students are advised to work closely with the faculty and counseling staff for program and course scheduling. Electives should be chosen carefully to meet requirements of transfer institution. The responsibility for proper course selection rests with the student.
