Art History Ph.D.

The University of Minnesota's doctoral program in art history trains scholars who go on to careers in universities, colleges, museums, and other arts institutions throughout the nation and the world. The faculty's unique range of expertise allows us to offer specialized training that only a few other institutions worldwide are able to match. Our current faculty and institutional strengths support specialization in the art and visual/material culture of the following overlapping fields: American; contemporary; early modern Europe and the Atlantic world; East Asia; film/photography; Islamic; modern Europe; and South Asia.
