MA Program in Art History 2009/2010
The School of Art and Art History offers two MA degrees: (1) art history and (2) art history with a museum studies concentration.
This small program of about 30 students emphasizes a close student-faculty collegial atmosphere. The art history program offers courses in most areas of world art, with special emphasis on Asian art, Precolumbian art and on European and American art from the Middle Ages to the present. In addition to our own Victoria H. Myhren Gallery, our partnership with the Denver Art Museum provides opportunities for internships and museum and exhibition-based courses.
Our graduates win sought-after positions. Some go on to doctoral studies in the United States or overseas; others hold respected jobs at distinguished art museums or take the road less traveled, entering careers in the diplomatic service, marketing or management with art-related nonprofit organizations.
