Overview

Key facts

Educating students in a multivocal and inclusive art history, the Art History in Arts of the Americas program at University of Arkansas aims to give students the interdisciplinary training and robust work experiences that they will need to thrive with an M.A. degree in industries that value visual literacy, creativity, communication, collaboration, and research.

The program offers a solid grounding in art’s complex global histories while providing a specialty in arts of the Americas. This specialized field was chosen for a variety of reasons, including the geographical location, the growing and world-class resources in American art, broadly conceived, and the commitment to leveraging these resources to expand access to the arts, which is seen as essential to building better futures in society as a whole.

The curriculum is organized around six key themes that are deemed essential to understanding both the arts of the Americas and the social impacts of creative practice, historically and in the present. These six themes include environment, heritage, power, circulation, structures and systems, and identity and community.
