Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Art History] From American University

Master's students can specialize in Italian or Northern Renaissance Art, Modern European Art, American Art from Colonial to Contemporary, and Asian Art (China and Japan). Undergraduate students can major or minor in art history, and can tailor the degree to a specific area of focus.

We offer several courses in museum studies and encourage all art history students to intern at the AU Museum or at one of the many prestigious museums in the DC area. This rigorous training provides students with valuable hands-on experience in museum practices. Our alumni have used internships as springboards to a variety of museum and art-related jobs in the DC area and beyond. They can be found in a wide range of professional careers in museums, galleries, auction houses, publishing, and many other areas.
