The Art History/Religious Studies major combines the disciplinary interest in the history of the visual arts with its related religious content and background. Three concentrations in this dual major are offered:
- Western Concentration
- Eastern Concentration
- Student-Designed Comparative Concentration: Students are wishing to combine Asian and Western materials to serve a comparative purpose are invited to design their own major in consultation with faculty representatives from both departments.
Art History majors have ready access to a visual resources collection of more than 150,000 slides on a variety of subjects, and a digital photo tutorial presented in conjunction with several classes. The program works closely with the UCR/California Museum of Photography (CMP) to give students the opportunity to work with the Jack and Marilyn Sweeney Art Gallery to provide a similar experience with original material in a multi-media environment, and with other museums in the area. Internships are available at the CMP and other museums. Other opportunities include junior and senior seminars on special topics, honors seminars, and special courses on film, museum work, and research.
