Art history students have the opportunity to develop a knowledge and understanding of the visual imagery created throughout the course of human history. Courses provide both a broad foundations in art history and the liberal arts that can lead to professional careers in art such as teaching, curatorship, conservation, or educational positions in museums. Many art history students go on to graduate study.
