While in residence in Florence, art history graduate students encounter Renaissance art and architecture firsthand via their coursework and visits to local museums, churches, palaces, and conservation labs. They pursue individual research projects in some of the finest libraries and archives in the world for the study of Italian Renaissance art history such as the Kunsthistorisches Institut, Harvard University’s Villa I Tatti, the Biblioteca Nazionale, and Florence’s Archivio di Stato.
Graduates of this unique program have gone on to earn doctoral degrees at prestigious American and European universities, as well as to successful careers in academia, museums, the tourism industry, marketing, and architecture, among other professions.
