Art History 1 vs Art History 2: what each covers, and in what order

They split the timeline. Art History 1 (ART 101) covers prehistory to the Gothic period, including Egypt, Greece, Rome and the Islamic world, in 15 chapters and 45 instructional hours. Art History 2 (ART 102) covers Giotto and the Renaissance to art made today, in 15 chapters and 54 hours.

No. Neither syllabus lists a prerequisite, so you can take them in either order, or both at once. Art History 1 ends with Gothic art and Art History 2 starts with Giotto, so taking 1 first follows the timeline.

Yes. They are two separate courses with different chapters, and NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours for each, in Art History, Studio Art, design programs or as a general elective. Your college decides which requirement each one meets.

Art History 1: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Art History among other subjects. Art History 2: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Art History among other subjects.

Both are recommended in the same subjects: Art History, Studio Art, design programs or as a general elective. Your college decides which requirement each one fills.

Art History 2 is longer by its syllabus. Art History 1: 15 chapters and 45 instructional hours. Art History 2: 15 chapters and 54 instructional hours. Both are self-paced, so you finish as fast or as slow as you want.

The format is the same in both: a final of 100 multiple-choice questions that counts for 25% of the grade.

Art History 1: Kleiner, Fred S. Gardner's Art Through the Ages: A Global History. 16th ed., Cengage, 2020 (optional), with other references. Art History 2: Stokstad, Marilyn, and Michael W. Cothren. Art History, Volume 2. 6th ed., Pearson, 2018, with other references.

No: neither is on the ACE list. Art History 1 has an NCCRS recommendation for 3 semester hours in Art History; Art History 2 has an NCCRS recommendation for 3 semester hours in Art History. Not being on the ACE list never means not recommended for credit.

Principles of Philosophy. In the “Art and ideas” order on the History, humanities and languages courses page, it follows Art History 2. Your program may set its own order.

On upistudy.com: the Art History 1 syllabus opens after a free sign-in. It lists all 15 chapters, the grading and the credit recommendation, so you can send it to your registrar.

Take it again: a failed Art History 1 final comes with one free retake (fail that and you restart the course). A passed final can be retaken too, but the original score stands; for quizzes, the average of your first two attempts counts.

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. Search your school in Find My College and ask your registrar which courses ART 101 and ART 102 would count as. For the registrar: Art History 1's NCCRS recommendation lists Art History and Art History 2's NCCRS recommendation lists Art History.
