Eligibility Criteria
For admission to the Ph.D. program, an Honours B.A., or its equivalent, and an M.A. with an “A” grade in the primary courses, are required. The Department of Art does not normally offer direct entry from a B.A. to a Ph.D. program. Normally, both previous degrees should be in Art History; however, applicants, one of whose degrees is in a related subject (such as Art Conservation, Classics, Cultural Studies, Film, Fine Art, History, Literary Studies, etc.), will be also considered. In all cases, the Art History Graduate Committee will examine the record of courses taken by applicants in both their graduate and undergraduate programs in order to establish that they have sufficient preparation in the History of Art.
