Inside VCUarts: Arts Honors
Art Honors Program in the Honors College
VCUarts students can earn University Honors AND Arts Honors.
You can earn Arts Honors and University Honors.
To earn Arts Honors, an honors student in the School of the Arts must complete 15 credits of Arts honors courses and a senior “capstone” course or experience (this is different for each major).
Arts Honors graduates will be recognized with special regalia at graduation. Distinction is noted on the transcript.
Arts Honors courses will be offered in Art Foundation and Art History each year. Additionally, 7 other Arts honors courses will be offered annually. These courses change based on course proposals put forward by VCUarts professors. Courses are built around professors’ research interests. This gives arts honors students the opportunity to work with professors in a small group studying topics tied to the professor’s research.
