Master of Art History

The ACM Master of Arts in Art History (MAAH) focuses on the visual cultures of the Mediterranean from antiquity to the present. It emphasizes first-hand research in various museums, architectural monuments, and archaeological sites in Europe and North Africa. The MAAH program cultivates interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approaches for researching the material cultures and artistic exchanges in the Mediterranean throughout the ages. The program has three Tracks: (1) an art history track; (2) a museum-studies track; and (3) a fine-art track.

The one-year MAAH program based in France, Spain, and North Africa provides the students with the opportunity to conduct their research and do their internships in various museums in Europe and North Africa. The ACM MAAH degree can be completed in 12 months of full-time study. It consists of thirty-six art history credits, six credits of foreign language, and the writing of a Master’s Thesis. The degree is designed to serve as preparation for Ph.D. level study in art history, and graduates will be prepared to work in museums, art galleries, or as teachers and independent guides.

Students can spend their 12 months of full-time study at ACM in Aix-en-Provence, France.  They also have the option to spend their fall semester in Aix-en-Provence (France), part of their J-Term in North Africa (Morocco or Tunisia), their spring semester in Barcelona, and their summer semester in Madrid.
