Art History Department

WELCOME TO THE ART HISTORY DEPARTMENT

UMass Dartmouth's Department of Art History introduces students to a wide array of art objects and it explores ways of understanding them. Art history students learn how to treat non-verbal objects as evidence, how to use scholarly publications, and how to explain their findings and insights. The goal is critical thinking about this extraordinary and engaging subject and preparation for entry into a range of academic and professional occupations.

Art History graduates have continued their studies in graduate programs and academic positions, entered professions associated with museums, galleries, and historical societies, become librarians. The field also provides a rigorous education that prepares students for employment outside the profession.
