Art History AA

Transfer Degree Description

Have you ever looked at a famous painting or sculpture and wondered about its creation? Have you thought about what historical factors may have influenced the artist’s style and point of view? If so, a degree in Art History will give you the knowledge and skills to observe works of art in a new and exciting way. You will develop visual and critical abilities to recognize social, political, philosophical, literary, and religious context of the time period in which they were created. This expertise can lead to a number of opportunities, working in galleries, museums, schools, or for an art publication.

An associate program in Art History is a first step toward a career as a curator, archivist, or art authenticator. This degree is transferable to universities offering a bachelor’s degree in Art, Art History, Fine Arts, and Visual and Performing Arts.
