The Department of Art History and Art offers opportunities to study art history, both Western and Asian, to participate in a broad range of studio offerings, to pursue state teacher certification in art education, and to engage in preprofessional museum training and preprofessional training in art conservation. The Bachelor of Arts degree is granted in art history and in pre-architecture, and the Bachelor of Science degree in art education. In addition, the department offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts in art history, in art history and museum studies, and in art education; and the Doctor of Philosophy in art history, and in art history and museum studies. All art programs are considerably enhanced by close cooperation with and access to the facilities of cultural institutions located in University Circle, in particular the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Art.
The undergraduate and graduate programs in art history are offered as part of the Joint Program in Art History of Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Museum of Art. All classes are taught at the museum, and courses are occasionally offered by the museum curators who hold adjunct appointments in the department. Students taking advanced-level courses use the museum's extensive research library, and all students have an opportunity to study original works of art in the museum's superb collections.
Students majoring in art history have a wide variety of career opportunities. Graduates with a strong background in art are employed as teachers; as museum professionals (both curatorial and administrative); as art librarians and archivists; as journalists or as sales representatives in commercial art galleries, auction houses, and bookstores; as art conservators and restorers; as art specialists in the diplomatic service and at all levels of government; and in industry, film, and television. Some of these specialties require additional study and professional preparation beyond the bachelor's degree.
The undergraduate and graduate degree programs in art education are given jointly with the Cleveland Institute of Art. Art education majors have the advantage of pursuing their academic studies in a university environment and their studio studies at a professional art school which educates artists and designers. Students participate in educational field experiences conducted in many of greater Cleveland's urban, suburban and rural school systems, its hospitals, museums and cultural institutions.
Graduates of CWRU's art education programs have pursued careers as teachers, supervisors and consultants in public and private schools, colleges, art schools and museums; as administrators of galleries and art organizations; as art therapists in hospitals and community centers; as designers of educational programs for industry; and as practicing artists.
A second major and a minor in pre-architecture are offered for those CWRU students expecting to continue architectural studies at the graduate level (or who simply wish to pursue an area of interest).
The university offers introductory and intermediate studio courses taught by experienced artists/teachers in its own well equipped studios for non-Art Education majors. Qualified undergraduates majoring in art history or art education may also participate in the Integrated Graduate Studies Program.

Retention and Advanced Standing
(Graduate Level)
Students in art education who expect to meet state teacher certification requirements must apply for Advanced Standing prior to the semester they register for student teaching. To apply, students must submit to the art education faculty information about grade point average, personal goals, and self-analysis of performance in the program up to the point of evaluation. Art education faculty may (1) accept a student for advanced standing; (2) accept a student with reservation, with a remedial plan; or (3) reject a student and recommend a career change.
A 3.0 cumulative grade point average is required to enter student teaching as well as a total of 300 contact hours of clinical field-based experience as required by the State of Ohio.
A 3.0 grade point average must be maintained in all professional education courses and an overall G.P.A. of 3.0 is required to be recommended by the university's Director of Teacher Certification for State Teacher Certification. Completion of the Master of Arts degree exists separately from the assurance that State of Ohio Visual Art Teacher Certification will be awarded. The State of Ohio requires a passing score on the National Teacher Examination in addition to the requirements stated above.
All M.A. degree candidates are required to present a documented thesis exhibition in the program's gallery of their art work prior to graduation.
The doctorate in Art History is designed to allow advanced graduate students the opportunity to specialize in designated areas. Admission to the program presupposes an M.A. in art history or its equivalent, including a reading knowledge of one approved foreign language. A qualifying examination or the equivalent is also required for admission at the doctoral level.
Applicants are requested to submit two papers written during their matriculation for a master's degree or a thesis if completed by the time of application.
University requirements for the Ph.D. include a minimum of 36 hours of course credits, but the department may require additional coursework as preparation for the general examination or for the dissertation. The minimum credits are to be distributed as follows: ARTH 495, Methodology of Art History (3); two graduate seminars at the 500 level or above (6); three additional courses at the 400 level or above (9); and a minimum of 18 hours of ARTH 701, Ph.D. Dissertation.
Doctoral students must demonstrate an ability to read two approved languages (other than English) useful in art historical research. German is normally required as one of the two languages for students concentrating in Western art; students concentrating in Asian art must be able to read one Oriental and one approved Western language. Both languages must be approved by the department at the time of admission or during the first semester of doctoral study.
Ph.D. students are required to pass a written and oral general examination before being advanced to candidacy. The examination is offered in two areas, as follows:
Students concentrating in Western art will be examined in the area of specialization in which they propose to write their dissertation. The content of the examination will be determined by an examining committee, chaired by the advisor, in consultation with the student.
Students concentrating in Asian art will be examined on their general knowledge of Asian art as well as their specialized knowledge of the field of concentration. The content of the examination (which may include philosophy, history, literature, and other relevant subjects) will be determined by an examining committee, chaired by the advisor, in consultation with the student.
Within two weeks after the written examination the faculty examining committee will examine the student orally. A final evaluation will be based on the student's performance in both the written and oral sections of the general examination.
The Ph.D. program in art history and museum studies is offered to a limited number of candidates. The program combines the academic requirements of a Ph.D. with practical museum training and is designed to provide experience in connoisseurship, conservation, and art education, as well as a planned program of academic coursework and independent research.
Admission to the program is made on the basis of academic record, experience, recommendations, and personal interviews. A master's degree in art history or its equivalent is required for admission as well as a reading knowledge of one foreign language. A Ph.D. qualifying examination or the equivalent is also required for admission.
Students in the Museum Studies Program are required to take a minimum of 42 hours of graduate study as follows: ARTH 610, Cleveland Museum of Art Internship (6); two graduate seminars at the 500 level or above (6); four elective courses at the 400 level or above (12); a minimum of 18 hours of ARTH 701, Ph.D. Dissertation.
During the two-semester internship, the student will be assigned to one or more departments in the Cleveland Museum of Art for supervised study and practice that will be evaluated by a member of the Joint Faculty in Art History. The dissertation subject normally is related to some aspect of art museum research; it may take the form of a special collection or exhibition catalogue, but it must satisfy the scholarly standards of the department and the University. Any student who has not taken ARTH 495, Methodology of Art History or the equivalent, will be required to do so as part of the 12 hours of elective courses. Students also must satisfy all other requirements for the Ph.D. degree in art history.
