Intermedia / Multimedia:
I graduated with a Graphic Design major. In order to be successful, you must have basic knowledge of computers, particularly Macs. The pros of the major are that it is limited only to your creativity. You will do well as long as you are inspired and creative. The cons are that most jobs often don't pay spectacular money. |

Intermedia / Multimedia:
I was a dual major: graphic design/photography. I would have concentrated fully on photography if I had known how much I loved it...I only discovered my affinity for photography halfway through my education. |

Art History, Criticism and Conservation:
My major was Art History with a minor in French Language at a liberal arts college in the midwest. My intention for choosing an Art Hisotry degree was to pursue a career working either for a museum or private collector as a curator/buyer/seller, or for an auction house. The college I attended did not have a more specific degree for Art History. If you plan to get a Masters Degree in Art History you will also need to read (do not have to speak fluently - but it would help quite a lot) either French, Italian or German. This is so that you are able to read and research orginial work in the language it was written. Art History is a fabulous area of study that embodies culture, art, language, history, religon, politics. Made famous by the "Da Vinci Code" recently on the best seller list and in the movies, the study of art history really encompasses many different skills. There are many avenues to pursue with a B.A. and especially M.A. and PHD in Art History including research, teaching, working with museums or collections, writing....To be successful in this degree you MUST have the ability to learn and retain substantial detail, especially required in testing, i.e; "Give the Title, medium, date, artist of the painting shown on the screen. Explain something about the period, the subject matter and the artist at the time the work was created." Studying for these exams is very intense. Yes, I would pursue this type of degree again, however I would attend a school that allowed me to work specifically in curation and preservation such as an educational facility associated with a large collection: The Art Institute of Chicago School associated with the Art Institute. |
