Overview

As an art history student, you will work closely with professors to explore the art, artifacts, and visual culture of a wide range of global cultures, from ancient to contemporary, as well as the multiple contexts that shape them. You will also learn intercultural competence and communication, key skills in today's world.

Key Features

Studying art history will teach you critical thinking and interpretive skills, visual literacy, and how to conduct research and communicate ideas. These skills transfer well to a range of careers and fields of graduate study.

Graduates of the Art History program at the University of Minnesota have pursued higher education and careers in museums, historical societies, libraries, and arts organizations. They are artists, designers, and owners of small businesses.

Art history is interdisciplinary with a broad curriculum that combines visual analysis with other areas of study. This major is a good match to many other disciplines like history; studio art; languages; English; literature, anthropology; political science; philosophy; psychology, sociology, communication, media, and rhetoric. Many art history students double major or pursue minors in other fields of study.

Careers

Expertise in visual literacy—an ease with visual material and the ability to quickly grasp its message or appeal—will give you professional advantages in almost any field you enter after graduation.

With an art history degree from UMN Morris, you’ll consistently be able to use your skills to work in a broad range of fields. The following are examples of art history-related occupations.
