<p>hey guys. i've decided i want to major in art history. I know that the major is good for careers that require crit. thinking and writing and everything, but I'm wondering which area I should minor in (i dont know if a double major is feasible on my income) the big prob. is that I'm not sure what i want to go into as a career. My top three are law (minor in english), art hist. prof. or curator (french or italian minor), or art administration (business minor). I guess this ? is kind of pointless if i dont even know what i want to do yet. lol. any responses would be good though.</p>
<p>also, does anyone know the average salary for a curator in a metropolitan museum?</p>
<p>look under the Graduate School section of CC for a thread called "Museum Studies" for more info</p>
<p>for phD in art history i read u have to know french and german. why do they require german, and not italian? this is totally ridiculous.</p>
<p>econ minor?</p>
<p>a school i am looking at offers a major in art hist. w/ a "concentration" in international studies of germany,france,spain,or china. The language reqirement is bumped up and u have to take some political and hist. classes from that region. Seems like this would give me more "leverage".</p>
<p>sauronvoldemort--- on the German,French requirements--a great percentage of scholarship from the 19th century on was written in German, especially for
Italian Renaissance art. When I was working on my disertation ( an Italian Quatrocento subject) I needed French, German, Latin and Italian. Italian and Latin were never spelled out as requirements, but I certainly wouldnt have gotten very far on my research in Florence and Venice without them. Im sure most PHD programs assume you know the language of the region you are
studying.</p>
<p>is it really going to hurt me on my language req. if i did not take german or french in hs? My school only offers spanish and latin, which i did take Latin I and II.</p>
<p>There is a big difference between what is required to get into an undergrad program and the actual requirments for scholarly study in a PHD program.</p>
