Rutgers University's Art History Department offers both M.A. and Ph.D. students an exceptional combination of an outstanding faculty, rigorous, imaginative scholarship, innovative critical approaches, a spectrum of cross-disciplinary programs, and professional opportunities. Taking full advantage of the great museums, galleries and academic institutions in the northeast, our students benefit from internships in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia area and from a consortium of art history programs that allows our PhD students to register for graduate courses at Columbia University, Fordham University, The Graduate Center at CUNY, the Institute of Fine Arts, The New School, New York University, SUNY at Stony Brook, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. Our distinguished faculty offers an intellectually rigorous and theoretically sophisticated program of study. The faculty comprises fifteen full-time members whose research interests and teaching span all periods of Western, Sub-Saharan and Asian Art. We have a uniquely strong cluster of faculty offering graduate training in the areas of modern Europe and the Americas, Medieval art and architecture, Italian Studies from Ancient through Baroque, contemporary Latin America, South Asia, and Russian, Soviet and Eastern Europe art and architecture.
