The Master of Arts in Art History delivers a comprehensive, methodologically rigorous foundation crucial for careers in academia or museums. Our faculty cover diverse specialties, theoretical perspectives, and methodologies, encouraging students to cultivate innovative critical approaches alongside deep historical knowledge. The program allows cross-disciplinary coursework in departments like Architectural History, Classics, Anthropology, and Media Studies, while offering engagement with interdisciplinary initiatives including African-American Studies, Latin American Area Center, and Early Modern Studies programs.
This degree offers two pathways: Option A focuses on thesis research for PhD-bound students or advanced academic careers, while Option B provides practical, non-thesis training ideal for community college teaching, museum education, galleries, and arts-related businesses.
