Bachelor of Arts in Art - Art History

Middle Tennessee State University

More than one path is open to those who wish to major in Art and pursue careers in museums, galleries, or arts organizations and/or pursue further study at the graduate level. Students choose between concentrations in Art History and in Visual Arts. Those choosing Art History will take upper-level courses in non-Western art (Asian, Pre-Columbian, Latin American, African), Medieval/Renaissance art, and modern/contemporary art. Students who concentrate in Art History may pursue graduate degrees or careers in museums, galleries, or arts organizations. Others may consider occupations in such varied areas as education, historical preservation, and consulting. Faculty members work with individual students, assisting them in choosing areas of interest that will further their goals.
