art history vs anthropology

Degrees in art history and cultural anthropology are in equally low demand on the job market, but while cultural anthropology is also a relatively rare major, art history is one of the most oversubscribed majors I can think of.

In 2009, colleges awarded 3893 BAs, 724 MAs, and 210 PhDs in art history. The same year, colleges awarded 8845 BAs, 1207 MAs, and 518 PhDs in anthropology. The number of students concentrating in cultural anthropology is smaller, but like most schools, UCLA awards only a general degree in anthropology. </p>
