Majors' Colloquium

1 unit

This one-credit course provides students the chance to explore opportunities available to majors in the history of art and archaeology both during their time at Washington University and post-graduation. It was developed in response to the suggestion of past graduating seniors, who requested more formal guidance in professional development. Topics to be discussed will include, among others: securing internship and fieldwork experience; preparing for an honors thesis; applying to graduate school in art history and archaeology; preparing for careers in museum, gallery, and academic fields; and transferring the undergraduate degree to graduate programs in business, law, and medicine. Guest speakers from the University and from the St. Louis community will attend various sessions to provide current professional perspective on relevant topics.
