If you get a good art history degree from a good university, you absolutely can get into an investment banking or management consulting graduate program.<p>If you get a mediocre degree from a mediocre university, not so much.<p>The basic idea behind this is that doing well at a good university requires decent general intelligence combined with the ability to understand exactly what is expected of you and deliver exactly that, at the expected time -- and this is obviously independent of the actual subject studied.
