Admission Requirements
In addition to Graduate College requirements for admission, applicants intending to pursue the Art History
specialization must have:
• At least a 3.00 grade-point average in History/Art History courses.
• An undergraduate major in History/Art History or a sufficient number of undergraduate courses in History/Art History to indicate probable success in a graduate program. Under special circumstances, art applicant may make up undergraduate deficiencies by enrolling as a non-degree graduate student. For some students additional courses or study may be required if not completed as an undergraduate.
• Completed the equivalent of five undergraduate quarters or four semesters of a foreign language, preferably German or French; however, a language of immediate pertinence to the applicant's chosen field of study is acceptable. An examination in reading and translation in the language must be taken during the first 12 hours of graduate study.
• Results of the Subject Test of the Graduate Record Examination are desired from all applicants and are required of applicants who do not meet the minimum grade-point average set for admission to the Graduate College.
Plan A (36 hours):
• 16 hours in 500, 600-level art history including at least one art seminar (ART 695) and a maximum of four hours of independent study (ART 697).
• 12 hours in 500, 600-level history courses including HIS 601 and one reading seminar.
• Eight hours of thesis (ART 699).
For Plan A candidates, the thesis committee must consist of two facuIty advisors from the Art Department, one from the History Department and one member external to the degree program. The guidelines for the thesis will be decided upon by agreement between the student and the committee. The committee will notify the Graduate Advisor when the thesis has been completed successfully. Students anticipating further graduate study are encouraged to begin a second foreign language in order to meet the Ph.D. program requirements at other universities.
Plan B (40 hours):
• 24 hours in 500, 600-level art history including two art seminars (ART 695) and a maximum of four hours of independent study (ART 697).
• 16 hours in 500, 600-level history courses, including HIS 601, HIS 695 and one reading seminar.
Exit Rrquirement:
• Colloquium:
Each candidate, whether pursuing plan A or B, must prepare a 20-minute presentation as an exit requirement. Candidates also are expected to attend and participate in their colleagues' presentations. These slide lectures should demonstrate an original approach to a well-defined topic developed from one of the student's seminar papers. They afford the candidate the opportunity to refine and distill research, following the guidelines of professional art historical society meetings.
The History & Art History departments offer an interdisciplinary program that leads to a Master of Arts degree in History with a specialization in Art History. The program provides a comprehensive approach to the integral study of history and art and allows advanced training that broadens and deepens the student's knowledge about the relationship between art and history.
