The Western art history requirement can be fulfilled with any college level course in Western art history. Undergraduate courses may be used to satisfy the requirement but will not count toward the 30 hours required for the Master's degree. A course in Western art history taken at some other institutions must be approved by the art history faculty to satisfy the Western art history requirement. All M.A. students must take at least four art history seminars, two of which must be numbered 800 or above. Seminars numbered at the 700 level will be taught as proseminars, that is, classes in which reading, gathering knowledge and critical thinking are emphasized rather than research.
Papers are generally shorter.
Seminars numbered 800 or 900 will include research and require a long paper. Completion of 30 graduate hours with an overall GPA of 3.0 or better. A maximum of nine hours may be taken outside the department with departmental approval. Seminars at higher levels are generally intended for more advanced students. Foreign language requirements.
