Overview

Art embodies the rich tapestry of human history and cultures across the world. Art History examines how images and monuments communicate and how they function in society: to teach and to move; to exalt and to incite.

Art History majors develop a keen eye plus excellent research, analytic, critical thinking, and communication skills—launching pads for many careers. Suffolk University’s art history graduates have gone on to pursue advanced studies in art history, archive management, museum studies, and law. Others have found meaningful careers in a range of arts-related venues such as galleries and museums, auction houses, archives, and nonprofit cultural institutions.

Boston's Rich Cultural Resources

Our city is your classroom. Boston is home to renowned architecture from the classical State House to the modernist City Hall, and to world-class art collections from the Museum of Fine Arts to the Institute of Contemporary Art.

All art history courses at Suffolk move beyond the classroom to take advantage of the opportunities to view and analyze works of art and architecture in person. Most students also find internships at local museums and galleries, providing valuable experiences and networks for their post-college careers.
