Degree Requirements
M.A. Degree Requirements
The MA in art history requires 36 credit hours. Students take 28 hours of graduate courses with at least five art history professors. Up to nine credits may be taken in related areas with the approval of the chair of the supervisory committee. (For example, those interested in African art may want to take advantage of courses offered through the Center for African Studies.) In addition, three credits must be taken in methodology and bibliography in preparation for thesis research. Six credits of thesis research culminating in an original thesis complete the degree requirements.
Ph.D. Degree Requirements
See the Graduate Catalogue for general requirements. Contact the Director
of Graduate Studies in Art History, Dr. Westin (rwestin@ufl.edu), for
specific information about this program.
Reading proficiency in French or German (or a language more appropriate to the major area of study) must be demonstrated before thesis research is begun. This may be demonstrated by passing a departmental language exam (should be taken at the beginning of the fall semester of the second year or by passing two semesters of graduate reading courses.) Students should see the art history coordinator for details concerning the language exam. Language courses are not applicable toward degree credit.
