To qualify for the Master of Arts degree in art history, candidates complete a minimum of twelve courses for graduate credit plus two winter study periods, the latter comprising a Study Trip in the first year (ARTH 51) and preparation of a Draft Qualifying Paper in the second (ARTH 52). Students must also demonstrate reading proficiency in two foreign languages, one of them German. At the end of the second year, all students present a shortened version of the Qualifying Paper in the annual Graduate Symposium.
At least eight of the twelve courses must be graduate seminars. Included among them are four required of all students: ARTH 504, “Methods of Art History,” to be taken in the first semester of study; ARTH 506, “Graduate Art History Writing Workshop,” and ARTH 507, “Objects Workshop,” to be taken in the second; and ARTH 509, “Graduate Student Symposium,” to be taken in the fourth.
Students must also fulfill a distribution requirement by undertaking coursework in three of six areas:
(1) East Asian, Indian, Islamic art
(2) Ancient Near Eastern, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art
(3) Early Christian, Byzantine, and Western Medieval art to 1400
(4) Western art, 1400 to 1780
(5) Western art, 1780 to present
(6) Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas (Pre-Hispanic or Native American cultures)
Students may petition the Director to apply a thematic or non-period specific course toward the distribution requirement by demonstrating substantial work in an appropriate area.
Undergraduate Courses and Private Tutorials
With permission from the Director and the individual instructors, students may take up to four undergraduate courses for graduate credit, with the understanding that research papers submitted in such courses meet a standard commensurate with those prepared for graduate seminars.
In addition to regularly offered seminars and classes, students may arrange up to two private tutorials (ARTH 595/596)
