Graduates with a BA in art history are equipped for a wide range of professional careers -- in museums, galleries, auction houses, or publishing (although advanced study is usually necessary for professional progress in these fields). And an art history major is not only a sound preparation for any professional field, it may also provide a distinct advantage for entry into those fields, given the increasing preference of law, medical, and professional schools for students with a broad intellectual background.
