Associate of Arts - Art History - (AA742)

Art History is the academic study of objects of art considered within their time period. Art historians analyze visual materials such as painting, sculpture, and architecture, and consider them within their historical context. Completion of the Art History: Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) will prepare students to meet minimum lower division admission requirements for transfer to a California State University (CSU) or the University of California (UC).

Most Art Historians work in museums, galleries, historical societies, archives, or at universities. They may work as curators, in restoration and preservation, in collections management, public education, development and fundraising, or as professors.
