THE UNDERGRADUATE MAJOR and
MINOR in ART HISTORY
What can you do with our BA Degree in Art History?
Graduates with a BA in art history are equipped for a wide
range of professional careers -- in museums, galleries, auction
houses, or publishing (although advanced study is usually necessary
for professional progress in these fields). And an art history
major is not only a sound preparation for any professional field,
it may also provide a distinct advantage for entry into those
fields, given the increasing preference of law, medical, and
professional schools for students with a broad intellectual background.
