The University of St. Thomas

Graduate Program

Welcome to the Master's degree in Art History!

Our program now boasts a faculty contigent of equal parts - four western focused and four non-western focused. We believe that this enables us to provide the most effective and up-to-date way to educate the next generation of art historians. Our faculty prides itself on collaboration with our students and many conference papers and journal articles have come out of these partnerships. We also have a flexible plan of study - only four courses are required, leaving seven electives that allow each student to shape their area of focus prior to writing their qualifying paper. Our students have found the quality of their education to be high, their colleagues to be diligent and focused, and the Twin Cities to be an engaged arts community. Their contributions to the profession have been just as outstanding as they have found positions as adjunct faculty, Ph.D. candidates, and curators.
