A Guide to 15 Leading Art History Master’s Programs in the U.S.

Of course CCS Bard made the list!

"What distinguishes the program, in addition to the college’s excellent faculty and strong job network, is its 25,000 square-foot, on-campus museum, the Hessel (which Cornell now also programs). There, you’ll find a collection of over 3,000 contemporary works and the possibility of hands-on experience with artworks, artists, and curators working in the field. You’d be hard-pressed to find better on-campus resources for curatorial training and research...."

If you have your sights set on a curatorial career in the arts, you’ll almost invariably need a master’s degree. How to choose from the various options across the United States?
