The Art History program offers courses in Western, Asian, and African art. The degree consists of two years of intensive study directed toward preparing students for either continued graduate study in Art History or professional employment. With six full-time, research-active faculty, UC is especially suited for those students desiring close personal attention from scholars in the field. Internships are available at the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Taft Museum of Art, the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art (CAC), and a program offered jointly with the faculty of Arts Administration of the Universitys College Conservatory of Music. Students also have the option of earning a Museum Studies Certificate.
The program sponsors the Art History guest lecture series, in tandem with the School of Art Visiting Artists and Scholars series. Among the special distinctions of the program is Art Words, a graduate student journal. Career opportunities and placement prospects for Art History students include teaching, museum and gallery work, art libraries and visual resource centers, auction houses, appraisal firms, photography, journalism, advertising, television and film production and other art-related fields. In recent years, graduates have found positions in higher and secondary education and curatorial work in museums and galleries.
