Art History - Towson University

Art History from Towson University is a Campus Bachelor History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Art History is an interdisciplinary field of study that incorporates history, the arts, literature, philosophy, and science and technology, depending upon career choices. The Art History major is for those students who want to work in the curatorial, educational, public relations or registration areas of a museum or gallery or who wish to go on to graduate school in the art history field. It is also for students who plan to pursue careers in art conservation, museum exhibition preparation and exhibition design. Students select one of two concentrations in Art History: 1) Research only or 2) Research/Studio after completing a common core. Students are encouraged to participate in internships in area institutions. Most students who plan to go on to graduate school in Art History choose the Research concentration while students planning on a career in the gallery or conservation fields often choose the Research/Studio concentration. Both options require the two-course capstone experience: Research Methods in Art History and Seminar in Art History . In both of these options, advanced research skills, knowledge of the use of technology in both research and presentation, and developed writing skills are required. The optional Honors thesis also allows students obtaining the required grade point average to pursue an individual research project with an individual faculty adviser which will result in the thesis.
