The Department's Distinguished Majors Program (DMP) is an opportunity for qualified undergraduates to undertake substantial, independent research projects while working closely with department faculty. Participants are prepared for advanced independent research and analysis by a required seminar in art historical theory, methods, and historiography. The program culminates in the submission of a DMP capstone project, a significant piece of original research, such as a text with a length of about fifty pages, a digital humanities project, an exhibition project, etc.. Students who successfully complete the program receive departmental honors, with a degree of Distinction, High Distinction, or Highest Distinction in art history.
Students who wish to apply for the Department's Distinguished Major Program should complete the application form and use the requirement guidelines for the submission of supporting materials. Complete applications should be emailed to the DMP Director, Giulia Paoletti
