Art History, B.A.

Admission

The number of applicants to degree programs in Art usually exceeds the number that can be accommodated. For this reason, the school has been authorized by the California State University to apply supplemental admission criteria. Admission is on a competitive basis, and continuing CSULB students and transfer applicants will be considered equally.

• First-year students applying to the university as Art History majors will be admitted as Pre-Art History majors. Admission as a pre-Art History does not guarantee admission to the major.
   
• Continuing students must apply for admission to Art History during the semester they have earned 45 units after all supplemental admission criteria has been met. Applications must be submitted at such a date so that students can be admitted to the degree program by the time they reach 60 units.
   
• Transfer applicants must apply during the initial filing period and must designate the degree on the application. Students who are not admitted to the degree may be admitted to an alternate major if they have listed one on the application. (See CSULB Enrollment Services Website)

Transfer students who qualify for admission to the university may be admitted to the B.A. in Art History if they meet the supplemental admissions criteria for admission to the degree. (See CSULB Enrollment Services Website)

Admission Procedures for Change of Major

Currently enrolled students who are undeclared or majors in other departments and who wish to apply for admission to the degree program in Art History must meet the current supplemental criteria for admission to the degree. (See CSULB Enrollment Services Website)
