The Department of Art is a fully accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.

II. MA Degree Program

Program objectives are: (1) assimilation and application of art historical methodologies to individual research; (2) practical application of critical analysis of the major theories and documents of art history to individual research; (3) field opportunities through museum internships or archaeological excavations; (4) ability to present research in a clear and persuasive format.

A. Program Admission

1. Admission to the Graduate School: Applications received after April 1 cannot be guaranteed consideration for the Fall semester.
2. For the concentration in General Art History, an undergraduate course in each of the major areas of art history is desirable: ancient, medieval, renaissance, baroque, and modern. For the concentration in Egyptian Art and Archaeology, an undergraduate major in Egyptology, art history, anthropology, history, classical studies, or archaeology is desirable. If, after evaluation of the student’s transcript, the art history faculty perceives a deficiency in these areas, the student may be required to successfully complete courses that will not count toward the Master of Arts degree.
3. A letter of intent, explaining the applicant’s motivation and objectives in pursuing a graduate degree in art history.
4. A sample of undergraduate writing, preferably in art history.
5. Two letters of recommendation, at least one of which should be from a college faculty member who knows the student well.
6. For those seeking graduate assistantships, the deadline for submission of all materials is February 15.

The student shall apply for admission to degree candidacy upon the completion of 18 semester hours of graduate work. All candidacy requirements listed below must be satisfied before registering for more than 18 hours of coursework at the graduate level. To be approved for admission for candidacy, the student shall have:

1. A grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
2. Removed all departmental prerequisite requirements.
3. A planned degree program that meets all departmental and graduate school requirements.
4. The qualifying examination in art history shall be successfully completed and identified deficiencies removed. For a concentration in General Art History, this test is an entry-level slide identification examination covering key monuments of Western art from ancient through modern times. For a concentration in Egyptian Art and Archaeology, this test is an entry-level slide identification examination covering key monuments of ancient Egyptian art and an entry-level examination in Middle Egyptian.
5. Knowledge of an appropriate foreign language must be demonstrated by the student. Generally speaking, advanced studies in art history require proficiency in at least one foreign language, depending upon the area of concentration selected by the student. Foreign language proficiency must be demonstrated by successfully passing an examination administered by the Department of Art; this examination should be taken during the first year of graduate study. This examination is set up so that each student is given a standard amount of time to translate in writing with the aid of a dictionary selected passages from scholarly articles in the student’s field. For a concentration in Egyptian Art and Archeology, French or German is preferred.
6. The student must establish an overall history of satisfactory ratings in periodic review, a semi-annual evaluation of each student’s general level of achievement by all area graduate faculty. Forms are available for perusal in the Art Department Office. Students with assistantships are required to take 12 hours each semester, 3 of which may be chosen from ART 7880 or 7881.
