• Art History courses at USC consider a variety of objects from different historical periods, places and cultures in relation to their makers, patrons, viewers and critics. Majors are exposed to a diversity of theoretical approaches and encouraged to sharpen their critical and conceptual thinking skills. Many Art History majors decide to pursue a graduate degree in Art History, either in museum studies or in a particular historical field within the discipline. 
  • The Department of Art History faculty at USC maintains strong ties with local and national institutions, thereby enhancing its ability to place departmental majors wishing to pursue a career in a museum, auction house, art gallery, or other arts organizations. Art History graduates are well prepared for jobs in public relations, entertainment, education, journalism, publishing, business, and law.
