Cultural Art History

Programmes in Cultural Art History

The realm of art transcends the boundaries of time, place, religion, politics, economics and culture. Art is where cultural, creative and historical characteristics are expressed--in timeless works that ultimately belong to us all. Cultural Art History more fully explores the cultural cross-fertilization of traditions manifested in works of art—and the influences underlying their production. In addition, Cultural Art History explores the ongoing fascination for and importance of works of art—over time—from multicultural and interdisciplinary perspectives.

The Masters program in Cultural Art History is designed for learners who intend to develop professional careers in cultural art history, (which may include teaching, most likely at the college level), law, program development, museum and gallery work, art dealership, art therapy, fine arts, travel and tourism, research, art criticism, creative writing, and journalism.

Some of these areas will require additional study at the graduate level leading to the Ph.D. The Warnborough M.A. in Cultural Art History will fully prepare learners for the doctoral program. Learners wishing to become scholars of Cultural Art History should plan on proceeding to the doctoral program, and should plan their Masters program accordingly.
