In New York we offer 3 graduate-level programs in Art Business, Contemporary Art and American Fine & Decorative Art. *

Art Business Program
This program is not a business degree but a degree in the business side of art, designed for students with an art historical background who want to understand business theories and practices as well as the technical and structural elements of the art market.

Start date: September 2010
This program is also offered at our London and Singapore campuses.

Contemporary Art Program
This program involves students in the study of art and its relationship to historical, social, policial and economic change in the period 1945 to the present. With an eye toward future career planning, students visit commercial galleries, auction houses, art consultancies, private collections, public museums and institutions. Study visits are an integral part of the program and include visits to the museums, galleries and art fairs in the US and Europe.

Start date: September 2010
This program is also offered at our London and Singapore campuses.

American Fine & Decorative Art Program
This program is for those who plan careers as gallery owners, curators, dealers, consultants or critics. Sotheby’s Institute of Art’s New York campus offers this specific program in American Fine & Decorative Art that prepares students in the understanding of art history as it relates to the cultural, historical, and stylistic significance of paintings, furniture, and decorative objects from othe colonial period through to the modernist movements of the first half of the twentieth century.

A Fine & Decorative Art masters degree is also offered at our London campus.

*Upon the successful completion of this two semester course of study, students receive a non-credit Graduate Certificate which will be accepted in transfer by Sotheby’s Institute of Art-London. Students may then matriculate for the Master’s Degree by completing a dissertation (Master’s thesis) in a third semester of independent study, under the supervision of the London faculty. The MA degree is validated by The University of Manchester (United Kingdom).
