Master of Arts - Art History

The Art History graduate program is organized into two major areas of concentration, each of which integrates several fields of specialization—Art of the Americas and a general concentration in Art History.

Art of the Americas brings together the arts of pre and post- conquest cultures. Along with the study of the acknowledged discontinuities in form and series brought about by European conquest, this concentration promotes the equally important study of architecture. The goal is to promote a clearer understanding of the Art of the Americas within the larger unity now perceived for American art traditions.

The University of New Mexico also offers a degree in Art History. Students may pursue a specialization within either of the preceding major areas of concentration. While focusing on a specialized field in preparation for their M.A. thesis, students must also familiarize themselves with their general area of concentration. Students are also encouraged to select courses in other graduate units within the University.
