Course Requirements for the Ph.D. in Art History and Archaeology

The Doctoral Program Committee should be appointed during the first term in residence to approve transcripts of previous credit and to plan a program of study; if no M.A. thesis was written, the department reserves the right to require a substitute.

  • A total of 42 hours beyond the M.A. (48 hours for students who have an M.A. degree from another university) is required, of which at least 32 must be taken within the Department.
  • AHA 7996 and 7100 will be required unless the candidate can satisfy the Department's requirement by previously having taken courses considered equivalent.
  • A student must take at least 18 hours of seminars beyond those required for the M.A. degree, of which at least 6 must be taken outside the major area in art history or archaeology. AHA 7130, 8130, and 9990 may be counted toward this requirement only with the approval of the student's committee.
  • A student also must take at least 9 hours of lecture courses outside the major area. (For areas in art history and in archaeology, see the list under Comprehensive Examination under PhD Requirements.)
  • These are the minimal course and seminar requirements which, after the M.A. degree has been received, should be arranged in close consultation with the faculty advisor.
