<p>Hi there- I go to small liberal arts school in the northeast, which I love, however it does not offer an art history major. Instead it offers a "creative arts" major, and you can concentrate in different areas such as art history, film, graphic design, etc. Do you think that I can still go to grad school for art history or try to get curatorial internships/jobs without having an official "art history" major? I'll try to take all the art history courses offered.</p>
<p>See if you can't find the curriculum on the schools website. It should have a list of all the classes you can take. Then you can look in the catalog of course descriptions to see more specifics. Compare it with a "traditional" art history degree program and see if you will be learning the same material. If not, you may want to reconsider.</p>
<p>I have no experience with grad school (so please, correct me if I'm wrong) but I would think that as long as you receive a quality art history education, it does not matter the title of the degree. You will be submitting transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal essay to the grad school.</p>
<p>Why not look up some grad school programs and see if they list specific degree requirements?</p>
<p>This is how I know things are done, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure this is dead on:</p>
<p>A art history major is an MA while a studioarts major such as graphics design, film, illustration is an MFA. An MFA is terminal meaning it is the highest educational degree. The MA can lead towards a PhD and EdD.</p>
<p>Short and simple MA is more liberal arts. MFA is more studio skill based art.</p>
<p>My suggestion is to do art history either undergrad or grad not both.</p>
