Elective Courses

Students then choose two four-unit, 400-level elective seminars to take at the Courtauld: one in histories and one in approaches. The histories electives focus on a particular theme, historical moment or geographical region, offering rich explorations of the individual artists, artworks and spaces produced within it. The approaches courses focus on a particular theoretical or methodological framework, or set of frameworks, for thinking about art history. Below is an illustrative list of possible offerings for histories and approaches courses. The final list of courses will be available closer to the beginning of the term.
