Introduction
The master's program in art history, offered by the Department of Art and Art History, is designed to provide a broad historical and theoretical understanding of the visual arts, in addition to developing critical thinking and methodological skills. Students engage these issues through coursework, seminars, independent research, and teaching experience.
Students complete their degree either by writing a thesis or by submitting two qualifying papers; either option involves an independent research topic designed by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor. M.A. students from our program are successful in applying to and completing PhD programs.
Why Tufts?
Tufts is named among the top 15 M.A. in Art History programs.
Location, world-class faculty, individual attention – these are among the many reasons why Tufts offers a superior, financially competitive master's program (see tuition). Our M.A. students are our highest priority and enjoy close working relationships with faculty. Because Tufts only offers an M.A., students receive more faculty attention than they would at universities that also offer a Ph.D. Not the least because of these conditions our graduates have a strong record of placement in jobs and top doctoral programs.
