In addition, students may minor in Art History, Fine Arts, Digital Arts, Graphic Design, or Photography. Courses in art foundation studies and liberal learning are integral parts of the curriculum. The Art Department is committed to providing programs of study which develop a high level of conceptual and technical ability, resources beyond the studio for a broader education in the arts, exposure to and understanding of electronic media and methods of communication, and a balance between a demanding course of professional study and a liberal arts education. The art facility features traditional studios as well as state-of-the-art computing and electronic media labs. The faculty of the Department of Art consists of scholars, exhibiting artists, and active professionals, and it is augmented by guest lecturers and adjunct professors who are practicing professionals in the New York-Philadelphia corridor. The department enjoys an enviable placement record in terms of graduate study and employment, and graduates of the program have attained positions of leadership in their respective fields. The College of New Jersey is located near the major art and design centers of New York and Philadelphia and students are encouraged and often required to visit museums, galleries, design studios, production houses, and other art facilities in these areas. Program Entrance, Retention, and Exit Standards Every major program at the College has set standards for allowing students to remain in that program, to transfer within the College from one program to another, and to graduate from a program. The following are the standards for art history. Minimum grades are noted in parentheses: • Retention in the Art History major is based on the following performance standards in these “critical content courses”: AAH 105 (B), AAH 106 (B), and AAH 215, AAH 216 or AAH 217 (B). • Transfer into the Art History major from another program within the College is based upon the following performance standards in these “foundation courses”: AAH 105 (B) and AAH 106 (B). • Graduation requires a GPA of 2.0 in courses for the program and a minimum grade of C in all major courses. Attendance Requirements Participation and attendance are considered essential to the learning process. More than two unexcused absences per course may prove detrimental to the student’s final grade.Art (Art History)-2 The College Art Gallery The Department of
