Tips for Completion for Graduate Students in Art History and Archaeology

In general, check the Graduate Student Bulletin Board at least once a week for notices of meetings, lectures, fellowship/grant opportunities, etc. Also check your mailbox in Pickard 109. Try to attend ALL lectures sponsored by the department. Attend Graduate Student Association meetings. This is basic good graduate student citizenship.

In addition, we have begun a departmental listserv called ARTNARCH. Join this for interesting discussions, help with research, or deadline reminders!

Languages are as essential as general preparation. Any graduate course may well involve German, French, or Italian sources, so you must develop a reading proficiency in German and either of the Romance languages, and additional skills in Greek and Latin if you are an archaeology student. You must have passed language exams in German and French or Italian before you can take AHA 8999/9999 and begin serious work on your thesis. For both you might make use of the following texts:

K. C. Sandberg, French for Reading
H. Jannach, German for Reading Knowledge

Check with archaeology faculty for information on the classical language requirements.

Currently the language requirements may be satisfied in three ways:

Departmental Translation Exam
This examination is administered by the Department of Art History and Archaeology once at the beginning of each semester. You will be given articles to translate (not paraphrase) with a dictionary. The examinations will be evaluated by a professor in the appropriate language department, and a professor in Art History and Archaeology. If you do not pass, immediately see if you can sit in on a language course.
Intensive Language Course in French or German
For students of French, take French 4070, Intensive Beginning French, and earn a grade of B or better. For students of German, take German 4070, Intensive Beginning German, and earn a grade of B or better. Currently there is no intensive language course offered in Italian.
Princeton Exam for French or German
This examination is a standardized test administered on demand at MU by Testing Services, 205A Parker Hall, tel. 882-4801. Our department considers 510 for French and 490 for German to be passing scores.
