The Art History minor is a suitable complement to many majors offered at Meredith College, including Religious and Ethical Studies, History, English and others. The minor is also designed for art students who wish to pursue careers that focus on the management of art: museums, galleries, or community-based art organizations. The minor prepares students for graduate school as well as employment not limited to art history. Because the discipline requires analytical and critical thinking skills, both orally and in writing, art history is a favored path for those who plan to attend law school as well as many other diverse pursuits.
