Program Overview

This accelerated program combines the requirements of the Master of Arts in Art History and the certificate in Museum Studies in order to prepare art historians for a variety of art museum careers, such as collections management, museum education, exhibit design and installation, marketing and communications. Requirements for this M.A. program consist of 30 credits of coursework plus 3 internship credits, and satisfactory completion of the foreign language require​ment (one language). This program is designed for a 4+1 option only. Students admitted to the program complete all the requirements for the B.A. in Art History prior to the start of their fifth year of study, and should complete the requirements for both the B.A. and the M.A. in five years. Upon successful completion of the 124 credits required for the Art History major, students will be eligible for the B.A. degree. After completing the remaining requirements for the Master's program, students will be eligible for the M.A. degree. Program requirements are detailed in the 4+1 B.A./M.A. Handbook.

NB: Art History majors interested in curatorial careers are recommended to apply to the curatorial track of the direct Ph.D. program.​
