Program description
The BA program in art with a concentration in museum studies focuses on the most prescient themes and issues at the forefront of the contemporary museum. These include various ethical and institutional issues, such as decolonization, activist curating, gender and race equity, accessibility, social justice and cultural diversity, and the role that institutions can play in fostering an imaginative museum practice that is inclusive and relevant to the future of society. To reflect the breadth of the sector, students pursuing museum studies select from a large pool of approved subjects and, in consultation with their advisor, their own focus areas, such as art history, liberal studies, education, global studies, justice studies, anthropology and other areas. These courses offer a range of learning opportunities led by scholars and museum practitioners from across the ASU campus and around the globe.
Augmenting the curriculum are a wide range of internships offered by arts organizations, enabling students to work directly with arts professionals in their field of interest. Additionally, the School of Art galleries, the Ceramics Research Center and Archive and the ASU Art Museum ensure that students have access to an ongoing schedule of public exhibitions, visiting artist and scholar lectures and specialized collections. Professional events offer students the opportunity to develop their knowledge and appreciation of contemporary art and culture while building a professional network. The Northlight Gallery is a dedicated photographic gallery directed by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, a curator in modern and contemporary art, that focuses on Latin American and Latino art. The gallery houses two important historical photographic collections: the Northlight Gallery permanent collection and the Solari Foundation collection. These collections offer an invaluable resource for researching historical methods, including analog photographic methods and printing techniques, and for examining the ways historical photography has shaped contemporary ways of seeing.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- Creative Enterprise and Cultural Leadership, MA
Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
Global opportunities
Global experience
Global Education programs provide an opportunity for students to explore their creative side through an intercultural lens, deepen their understanding of the world and gain valuable career-building experiences. Study abroad can prove to be a vital accompaniment to any art concentration, allowing for broad historical and archaeological explorations. Students develop insight into the cultures and minds of some of the world's most notable artists when they experience the places that gave rise to specific artistic styles. With more than 300 options available, Global Education programs give students a breadth of knowledge in arts and culture uniquely different from their own. Study abroad encourages students to develop and broaden their intercultural sensitivity, communication skills and leadership ability, and challenges them to think differently. Whether in a foreign country, in the U.S. or online, students learn to adapt and persevere, and they are provided with a chance to look inside themselves in a way they haven't done before, growing their personal and professional self-confidence along the way.
Career opportunities
A degree in the arts offers students a pathway to a rich and varied choice of careers. School of Art programs prepare students to initiate creative careers as artists, scholars and educators in the public and private sphere.
Museum studies graduates find employment opportunities with commercial art galleries, art museums, historical societies and archives, national parks and other nonprofit organizations. Other options include working at arts agencies and public art programs or gaining admission to prestigious graduate programs across the nation.
