It results in a grounding in the creative arts combined with historical analysis, evaluation of the visual, and a sense of curation stemming from studies in art history.
The undergraduate Budapest campus art history specialization prepares students for a variety of career choices. Students completing their studies in the McDaniel art history specialization go into education, curation and museum work, marketing and art production, private enterprises and the non-profit sector, as well as to graduate school programs.
