History of Art majors may earn pass/fail academic credit for internships, which the department greatly encourages. These internships may be in museums or galleries, historic houses or other cultural institutions and, with departmental approval, can lead to an independent research course or help develop a project for an Honors Thesis.

Majors and minors are encouraged to join VUSAL, our student Society of Art Lovers, which sponsors a series of activitiets each year, including an alumni roundtable. During this event, former students present ideas about finding careers based on skills and interests they gained while studying in the department. We also offer students the opportunity to participate in a Pre-Architecture program if interested in graduate studies in architecture or history of architecture.
