oseirus Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 So technically this week is the first week of March. At least I'm going to declare it the first week of March. So, um, would the remaining 9 silent schools please stand up? Coffee break Nordicllama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg22 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I'm confused about why I see so many art history applicants on the results board...History (regular) is required curriculum in every A.A. and B.A. program, so at least there is an 'artificial' demand for a steady supply of history professors, but what kind of demand is there for teachers (or practitioners) of art history? any insights...? My MA is in Art History/Museum studies and I'm working towards becoming a curator...and I'm hoping to get my Ph.D. in History. Art Historians work in museums, auction houses, galleries, design firms, publishing firms, historical houses along with traditional teaching options.

I have my one acceptance and that makes the whole process a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step two: Hit the pub for a huge greasy burger and Young's Double Chocolate Stout. for me it would be: step 1: write to all the schools that rejected you step 2: include picture of your posterior step 3: ask them to send back picture after they've kissed it crater21, irvinchiva10, Nordicllama and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oswic Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Indeed, but I've also heard Israeli universities don't have a lot of street cred in academia, which is a shame. But I love Tel Aviv and it would be exciting to live there again! Definitely considering the option! and I would sort of love to have to be that good at Hebrew. Hi uhohlemonster, TAU has an excellent reputation as one of the top universities in modern Middle Eastern history. The faculty are very well regarded. Yes, there is political tension in some academic environments and among some scholars, but certainly not all. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this in a PM if you're interested.

runaway Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My MA is in Art History/Museum studies and I'm working towards becoming a curator...and I'm hoping to get my Ph.D. in History. Art Historians work in museums, auction houses, galleries, design firms, publishing firms, historical houses along with traditional teaching options. And just wanted to add (since I didn't see anyone else mention it) that art schools who primarily train people going into the fine arts also employ art historians, since art hisory courses are usually a mandated part of the curriculum. I'll be applying to both history and art history PhD programs next year, and use a combined methodology. Sometimes I feel like a black sheep in both disciplines (my BA is in both) because there are still academics who are defensive about their discipline's methodology - even with how popular interdisciplinary work has become. I'm leaning towards a degree in art history, though, mainly because I think that degree is slightly more flexible, as Meg pointed out. I'm not surprised by the number of applicants to programs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachr1989 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 To the person who got rejected from 2 at the same time.. I'm sorry! That happened to me a couple weeks ago (got rejected from UMN and Illinois within the same 30 minutes). It's rough, but keep your head up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
