I just looked at CAA guidelines and found this on their site. I guess
each institution can decide for themselves? I wonder why our
administration is interested in instituting this if CAA does not
recommend requiring it. Perhaps some parity with other areas of the
university?

Theses and Comprehensive Examinations
A written thesis on art history or theory should not necessarily be
required; however, a critical statement, in writing, on the
student's work, its development, and its cultural and historical
references should be insisted on as a logical alternative.
Comprehensive, out-of-class art history examinations, whether oral
or written, should not be required. High-quality performance in
course work itself can be counted on as assurance of the student's
having a good working knowledge of the material.
