Graduate Program

Degree. M.A. in Art History.
Director of Graduate Studies, Professor M.F. Francey, 156 ART
The Art History Program admits qualified students holding a B.A. degree into its M.A. program.

The course of study leading to the M.A. in Art History is designed to enable students to attain competence in a selected area of study and to provide them with training in art historical research methods.

The M.A. degree is preparatory for doctoral study for those students who intend to teach at the higher education level, and offers an appropriate education for students who wish to work in art museums, libraries, and art galleries.

Required for completion of the degree are 30 hours of courses in Art History and related fields at the 5000 level and above, including six seminar hours, nine hours in a selected area of study, and at least one course at the 6000 level in the areas of Asian Art, Ancient and Medieval Art, Renaissance and Baroque Art, Nineteenth Century Art, and Modern and Contemporary Art.

No later than the third semester of graduate work, the student forms a supervisory committee to advise in a selected area of study. Preparatory to advancement to candidacy, the student must achieve a satisfactory grade on examinations administered by the supervisory committee. Following admission to candidacy, the supervisory committee works with the student to direct research and writing of the master's thesis, and submits a written proposal to the committee's chair. Upon approval of the proposal, the student writes a thesis that demonstrates ability to conduct independent research and make a contribution to knowledge in a specialized area of study.
