I can tell you from my experience of having taught there that the university is not really interested in churning out employable grads. It is interested in academia, of postulating new theories and provocative ideas, in short, with contemplating the navel.

By the way I was not an art history major, though as an art major I took my share of those classes. Coincidentally, I also now work part time at Home Depot, and find myself selling Ionic and Doric columns.

LOL At least professors don't want to teach undergraduates but to do research, and the Administration only cares for government grants and FTE's (Full Time Equalvalents) i.e. money.
