<p>Hello everyone. I'm new to this website and it's refreshing to see that I'm not alone in my experiences as a transfer student. I'm wondering how many people out there are majoring in art history, and if you are, do you plan to pursue a career in it? And where's your school of choice?</p>
<p>i applied to ucla as an art history major! i may double major in it along with philosophy. what school are you aiming for?</p>
<p>If you look at the statistics on university websites, there's quite a number of art history majors. What you do with your major is dependent on mostly you as a degree in the college of letters and sciences usually means you need to be creative in pursuing a career or job as it is not obvious as one that graduates with a degree in engineering. If you are looking for more stability in your future career, you can look for a minor that's different from your major to help specialize and be more unique in the job market. I wouldn't recommend double majoring, personally, unless you really are committed to it. Also, you should check course listings at schools you apply to, because many schools specialize in certain fields of art history, and you can decide by looking at the schedule of classes to see what courses are offered year round and seeing which ones you'll be interested in studying.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't plan to double major in anything because it's going to take more time to graduate. With tuition going up, it's important that I utilize my time wisely. It's sad that a college degree is just a glorified HS diploma these days...oh boy.</p>
<p>Hey leik, I'm aiming for UCSB or UCLA, preferably the former school because I need to get away from LA for a bit. what CC do you go to right now?</p>
<p>I don't mind double majoring, I already tried the "specialized" route, which is what drove me to seek an education for the sake of becoming educated. I may be jobless or have no immediate job upon graduation, but that's where grad school comes in for me. There's immense value in the humanities, in my opinion. </p>
<p>I applied to Berkeley, SB, LA and Irvine. if I get in from the four, I'll most likely be attending LA, simply because of the convenience and the money I'd saved by living at home. I would love to get out of LA, but realistically speaking, I doubt after graduation I'll be able to lock in a job in the Bay Area if I attend Berkeley, or even in Santa Barbara/Central County if I attend SB to make worth the adjustment in my life as a transfer. I live in LA, and the whole transferring into junior year to live in a new location (which will only be my home for less than two years or about two years)seems very unproductive for some reason. I'd do it if I was a freshman, but I feel to "old" to a certain extent to live the traditional college life this time around. But in no way will I be saying no to Berkeley if they offer me a comparable financial aid package that would equal my expenses if I were to attend UCLA.</p>
<p>I'm glad to see this thread! Sometimes it's rather lonely as an art history major Haha.
I'm aiming to transfer to UCI or UCSC this fall as an art history major.<br>
I'm not entirely sure what my career goal is, but I enjoy studying art history so much so that I feel it is worth it to have a harder time finding a job.</p>
<p>I am really hoping to go to UCSB. It's far enough for me to miss LA, but not so far that I forget the SFV life. Us humanities majors are asking to work 5 times as hard to find jobs after college. Art history is fun, but realistically, it's a useless major. There are many impractical majors out there. I think grad school is the only way out for future art history students because they wouldn't be able to find jobs otherwise. Are you going to get an internship?</p>
<p>I hope to get an internship.</p>
<p>these days an internship will get you far. It's almost a prerequisite to getting a job.</p>
