MA
Program in Art History
Admission
The
beginning graduate student is expected to hold the B.A. or equivalent
degree. The department assumes that any candidate for the M.A. degree
in art history will have had undergraduate training in liberal arts,
especially in history, cultural studies, literature, and fine arts.
The student should have a strong background in art history, typically
18 or more hours of college credit distributed in such a way as
to indicate that he or she has the basic foundation for advanced
study. If not, deficiencies shall be made up by taking classes that
will not count for graduate credit.
It
is usually possible for a student who has taken 12 or more hours
of undergraduate art history to enroll in some courses for graduate
credit while making up the remaining undergraduate hours. Students
who have taken less than 12 hours of relevant undergraduate courses
are encouraged to register as "special students" or fifth-year
undergraduates in order to take the necessary courses. An undergraduate
grade point average of 3.3 is required for admission. Only in the
most extraordinary circumstances will those with a lower grade point
average be admitted.
