Won't a Masters in Art History have the same prospects?

Pouring more money and time into the same useless stuff.

What jobs can someone with a Art History BS get?

Anyone going to college is old enough to choose their courses and parents don't need to email like its high school.

Art history major can take prerequisites and go to med, dental, PA or podiatry schools. They can take maths, stats and data science and go to consulting companies. They can become high school teachers, do masters and become college teachers, curators at museums, work at art auction houses, join military, work for nonprofit, etc etc

People who take these degrees on financial aid can do well with no debt. They can also get free masters so it works for them. PhD is often free for everyone.

She should apply to hundreds of different entry level positions to score one. Once employed and able to pay bills, she can explore future options.

The OP's kid is graduating... it's a little late to introduce more classes into the mix. And, I'm guessing the OP's kid doesn't have the chops to handle quant stuff which is why we are here.
Your other advice is to what.... do more schooling?

This is simply not true. Art history majors have prospects that are as good for entry level jobs as other candidates, as long as you've gone to a decent undergraduate institution.
