Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting, so please do let me know if this topic has been posted before/I'm posting in the wrong forum.
I am a currently planning to apply to (terminal) M.A. programs for Art History. Would it be preferable to have all my professor rec letters from within the art history department, or can I get some from professors who have taught me other non art history related classes? Additionally, are professional recs ever a good idea for applying to art history graduate programs (ie: recs from bosses at previous internships in related fields, etc).
Thanks a lot.
edit: the reason I ask is because I have a professor in mind who would write me a great rec, but she is not in the art hist. department of my undergrad institution. Additionally, my undergrad institution's art history department is really small, and I honestly don't have many profs within the department who I know with confidence would write me a good rec... :/
