The unique and well-respected Art & Art History Program gives graduates a flexible base from which to pursue a range of careers, both within or outside of the visual arts. Many graduates remain involved with education by teaching at the secondary or post-secondary level; others have pursued graduate studies in studio art, art history, conservation, or related fields in the humanities, leading to an M.F.A., M.A., or Ph.D. degree. Many graduates are practicing artists who exhibit their work in artist-run, public, and private galleries both nationally and internationally.
Graduates have also flourished in commercial art, including graphic design, advertising, and art direction. With its strong art history component, this program has enabled graduates to pursue administrative or curatorial positions in museums and galleries, as well as work in art criticism and journalism. With this degree, as with many humanties degrees, our graduates have gone on to successful careers in entirely different areas.
