The Art History division offers two advanced degrees:

• Master of Arts in Art History
• Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Education

Both degrees provide a broad based and methodologically critical foundation essential to pursuing a career in Art History, whether in a university or museum setting. In addition, students enrolled in the graduate degree programs may pursue Museum Studies Certification.

Subject Areas

The course requirements are designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop a depth of knowledge in a major field, while also acquiring a breadth of knowledge about the history of art in general. MA students are strongly encouraged to take a range of courses from several different professors. The major field should be chosen with the assistance of the major advisor. Some of the criteria for limiting the major area might include geographic, chronological, medium, or methodological considerations. Courses are available in the Art History Division, as well as in other departments on campus.
