Admission

Applicants to the 2023-2024 M.A. program must submit an application form, personal statement (1-2 pages), two letters of recommendation, transcripts of academic work, and a sample of art historical writing with the applicant as sole author (no more than 20 pages of text plus relevant images and bibliography). A faculty committee evaluates the file, giving priority to the candidate’s overall academic background in the humanities, foreign language competency, letters of recommendation, and motivation and interest.
