Overview

The Art History programme at California State University Fullerton is tailored to the individual student’s interests and career goals at every stage, from study plan to thesis topic. The thesis process offers students time to determine their area of expertise, encouraging both primary research (interviews and archival work) and secondary research (scholarly monographs and journal articles) that help them define their academic path through intense work in visual analysis, critical thinking, and scholarly writing in the field of art history.

Key Facts

Students work directly with a faculty advisor (committee chair) to develop a programme that allows them to explore the field of art history, gaining skills in visual analysis, research, presentations, and scholarly writing. Graduate Students are encouraged with both contemporary and traditional context investigations and research to support individual artistic development in consultation with programme advisor, faculty and peers.

Accreditation

California State University, Fullerton, is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Many of the academic programs at CSUF are also accredited by discipline-specific accreditation agencies and associations.
