Recently, two of our former students have obtained employment at the Smithsonian Institution, Archives of American Art and at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY. Our graduates have also found employment at The New York Studio School, Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Bonhams, in New York City and London. The majority of our Majors pursue careers in law, medicine, business or dentistry but those who wish to continue to professional careers in the art world have been very successful.

We have retained and graduated every student who had majored or minored in the Art History Department and have graduate the majority within four years and a very few within five, who chose to stay an extra year to complete additional majors or minors.
