Graduate Programs in Medieval Art History

The following census displays basic information about graduate programs in art history that include a medieval component (broadly defined). Its primary purpose is to provide a single resource for students interested in pursuing an advanced degree in medieval art history. It is also hoped that faculty will find the list useful in guiding their students. Currently, the list is largely limited to programs in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, though it is being expanded to encompass institutions across the world. Although the ICMA Digital Resources Committee has tried to confirm the accuracy of each program’s entry, be advised that the information provided here may not be in all cases accurate. Please feel free to alert the editor, Nicholas Herman, to changes so that the list can be updated in regular fashion.

The sections below are organized alphabetically by country (United States of America; Canada; Ireland; United Kingdom; Switzerland; Israel; China / Hong Kong; and a final section on Other Degree Programs with specializations in Medieval Art, Architecture, and/or Material Culture), then by institution name and last name of faculty member. Future updates will include other countries and adjacent fields.

Originally compiled with the assistance of Olena Konyeva and Spice Maybee; updated May 2025 by Nicholas Herman and Gabrielle Ashby.
