Other Requirements

Optional SAT/ACT Testing

A holistic review of each applicant is at the center of our approach to enrolling a diverse group of students that strengthens the UVM community. UVM does not require international students to send SAT or ACT scores as part of the application process. We also recognize the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly limited access to testing sites and resources. Therefore, all applicants including US citizens abroad are not required to submit standardized test scores for Fall 2021 through Fall 2023, but are welcome to do so if they feel it will contribute to their academic record. Both the Common Application and the Coalition Application allow you to indicate if you want your standardized test scores considered.

Students who choose not to submit test scores will not be disadvantaged in any way, as all applicants will be considered for admission, merit scholarships, and selection to the UVM Honors College.

  • UVM’s College Board/SAT Code: 3920

  • UVM ACT Code: 4322

Send your official scores to the University of Vermont (official only if submitted directly from the testing agency*). You may send results for all tests you take; our admissions evaluation will consider your highest scores.

*Students applying through the Coalition Application can upload scores directly through their application.

Optional Interview

International applicants are welcome to participate in an optional interview. The interview will be used as part of the holistic review process, and it will be one among many factors that will be considered when reviewing your application. Options to participate:

  • Online Platform: Vericant or InitialView

  • Personal interview with an International Admissions Team member

Course Information

The study of the history of art at UVM usually begins with courses surveying the broad range of visual expressions found in cultures around the world. Students are introduced to numerous methodological approaches—contextual, formal, and iconographic—which enable them to understand the richness and layered meanings of works of art. For those who choose to major in this humanities discipline, mastery of a foreign language through the intermediate level, and at least two courses in studio art, provide additional tools useful in responding skillfully to works of art.

UVM art history majors have continued their studies in art history at the graduate level and are now teaching at major universities, like Harvard and Stanford, or finding success in professional positions in museums, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, the New Museum, the Barnes Collection, among others, as well as auction houses, publishing and related fields. Still others have combined their studies in art history with postgraduate study in areas such as law or library science and have continued into careers combining these preparations. Some have used the major as a way to sharpen their analytical skills in thinking and creative problem solving and have then gone on to pursue seemingly unrelated careers in fields such as medicine or business. No matter what path they have followed after graduation, most students have commented on the quality of the art history program at UVM noting how it has enriched their lives and sharpened their visual responses to the world around them.
