Art History (Arizona State University)

Program Description

The art history program at Arizona State University is a rigorous program that prepares participants for careers in galleries, museums, learning institutions and art organizations. The two-year program requires students to complete 30 credit hours’ worth of coursework to successfully graduate. During the course of studies, individuals might investigate the rich culture of visual arts and explore critical concepts pertaining to artists, technologies and objects.

The art history curriculum is a diverse one. Depending on the area of emphasis, participants may explore art history in social, economic or political contexts — or possibly all three. Pupils may also study art's history in relation to other areas of study, including science, literature, media, anthropology and performance studies.

In addition to the required coursework and research requirements, students in this program will take courses across other areas of study. The school requires this to ensure students maintain an open mind.

About School

ASU's academic programs are spread across campuses in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area; however, unlike most multi-campus institutions, the campuses of ASU are all individually different- each has its own distinct function to fulfill in line with the university's mission.
