Overview

Some of the majors in the Art History program of the University of Minnesota have continued their educations in art history graduate programs.

Others have found work in museums, galleries, auction houses, and other areas of the art world. The majors have been accepted into law, medical, and business school and have found that their training in art history offers valuable and sometimes unexpected perspectives that their fellow students often lack.

Key Features

The department provides undergraduates with exceptional teaching by award-winning faculty in small classes and lots of one-on-one attention. We have an active undergraduate organization, Art History Club, which sponsors events, study groups, and workshops throughout the academic year. We offer undergraduate scholarships for study abroad and internship support at local museums.

Because we are located in the heart of a large urban area with an amazingly vital arts scene, we are able to develop and maintain connections with a large number of local institutions and businesses that offer internships related to the discipline.

Art history majors who are pursuing honors are encouraged to consider study abroad and student/faculty honors contracts as ways to integrate honors experiences more deeply into their major programs. The department especially emphasizes independent and mentored research opportunities, made possible through arrangements such as UROP, RAships, directed studies/directed research credits.

Careers

All liberal arts degrees help CLA students develop their Core Career Competencies, and art history majors develop specific skills that are applicable to lots of different careers. These skills include the ability to interpret and assess art objects, as well as everyday images, objects, and the built environment, a broad range of historical knowledge, and research skills.
