Question

Help answer this question below.

My career goal is to become an art director/curator at an art museum. I have a B.A. in Visual Arts Management. Most museums are looking for people with a MA in art history. Can I get an M.A. in art history even though my B.A. is visual arts management?

    For the most part, any accredited B.A. should let you into whatever kind of M.A. program you want. The exceptions are things that require a lot of quantitative skill, like, say, mathematics or statistics or computer science or some other sciences.

    At least that's true in the U.S..

    Most definitely... I have a friend who got her MA in Art History, after studying a Politics BA.

    Hi there I am a curator and I would say it will be difficult, you may be able to do a years course in Art History first as a kind of sweetener to the subject, try Birkbeck and the OU but in honesty you need a BA in the History of Art to be a curator an MA alone will not equip you with the amount of knowledge needed to secure employment, sorry to rain on your parade. x
