The History of Art and Architecture Department offers an undergraduate program directed toward a B.A. degree and graduate programs leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The undergraduate program is designed to provide an understanding of art as a humanistic activity. It also prepares students for graduate work leading to careers as professional historians of art, museum curators, or critics, and in such other fields of the visual arts as art administration, historic preservation, and art gallery work. The program is supported by an excellent arts library, visual resources collection, architectural drawing collection, and university art museum.

Students with a bachelor's degree in art history who are interested in pursuing a California Teaching Credential should contact the credential advisor in the Graduate School of Education as soon as possible.

The department publishes a list that describes the content of courses offered each quarter; the publication is available prior to registration in classes. Advising is available in the department through the undergraduate advisor, faculty undergraduate advisor, and the department chair.

Honors Program

The departmental honors program is designed for students interested in advanced research in art history. Students must receive the signatures of the department chair and a faculty supervisor, in addition to having an overall grade-point average of at least 3.0, 12 upper-division units in the major, and a major grade-point average of at least 3.5.

Once admitted to the program, honors students may choose between two options leading to the completion of an honors thesis: (1) one two-quarter seminar, or two seminars in relevant areas within art history or (2) two consecutive quarters of independent study (Art History 199). Alternative options must be approved by the department chair. After projects are completed and submitted, they are evaluated by a committee consisting of the student's faculty supervisor and at least one other departmental faculty member, usually a specialist in a neighboring field. Among the criteria used in evaluating honors theses are scholarly presentation, originality, and quality of research. Deadline for the thesis is the Monday of the eighth week of the second quarter of honors studies. Students successfully completing the honors project will receive Distinction in the Major at the time of graduation.

Graduate Program

In addition to departmental requirements, candidates for graduate degrees must meet university degree requirements found in the chapter "Graduate Education at UCSB."

The department offers a combined M.A./Ph.D. program. Students who are interested only in pursuing a master's degree are not admitted. To continue in the Ph.D. program, students must complete the M.A. requirements with honors and demonstrate an ability to conduct research at the Ph.D. level. Entry to the Ph.D. program requires a brief letter of application and at least two letters of endorsement from ladder faculty in the department, one of whom must indicate willingness to sponsor the applicant's Ph.D. work. The application and faculty letters must be on file at the time the M.A. thesis is completed. The graduate committee will review each request in consultation with the student's named potential advisor and make a recommendation to the entire faculty.

The program requirements for the M.A. and Ph.D. are listed separately below.

Master of Arts-Art History

The master of arts degree is offered in the following major areas or fields of art: African/Oceanic, pre-Columbian, ancient, medieval, Renaissance, 17th Century, 18th/19th Century, 20th Century, American, Latin American, Asian, Islamic, architecture, photography, and theory/historiography.

Admission

The faculty seeks candidates whose preparation and achievement demonstrate strong potential for advanced, creative research in history of art or history of architecture. Candidates' academic background should include broad experience in the humanities and social sciences, study involving historical content, and the acquisition of research and interpretive skills. A bachelor's degree in art history can be useful, but is not a strict requirement. Applications for fellowships and teaching assistantships must be received in the department by January 15. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required of all applicants to the graduate program. Applicants whose native language is not English must receive a score of at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), taken within two years of their application to UCSB. Students who have earned a bachelor's or master's degree from a U.S. college or university are exempt from this requirement. A scholarly writing sample is required.

Degree Requirements

After admission to graduate standing, and before the second year of residence, every student must demonstrate the ability to read one foreign language necessary to conduct art historical research (normally French or German). Students may meet this requirement by passing a translation exam or through foreign language coursework. The degree requires a minimum of three quarters of intensive work; students are encouraged to complete it within six quarters. Candidates demonstrating exceptional achievement may be awarded departmental honors.

All M.A. students must take at least 16 units in graduate seminars in at least three different fields: Western Art to 1750, Modern, Non-Western Art, and History of Architecture. Other work will be drawn from the list of upper-division courses, graduate seminars, and reading and research courses taught by the art history faculty. Eight of these units may be taken outside the department.

Students will follow one of the following plans: Plan 1 (thesis), which requires a minimum of 32 units of work for a letter grade plus a thesis; or Plan 2 (comprehensive examination), which requires a minimum of 36 units of work for a letter grade plus a comprehensive examination.

(Note: The university requires master's students following the thesis option to complete at least 20 graduate units in the major or related fields, or a minimum of 24 graduate units in the major or related fields if they are following the comprehensive examination option. Graduate units include courses numbered 200-299 and 596; no more than half the graduate units can be in 596 coursework.)

Doctor of Philosophy-Art History

The Ph.D. degree program is designed for mature and broadly educated scholars who have a sound foundation in art history. The Ph.D. degree in art history is offered in the following major areas or fields of art: African/Oceanic, pre-Columbian, ancient, medieval, Renaissance, 17th Century, 18th/19th Century, 20th Century, American, Latin American, Asian, Islamic, architecture, photography, and theory/historiography. Doctoral students may petition to add an emphasis in women's studies. The department has special fellowship awards at its disposal for campus residency and research travel.

Admission

Candidates for admission to the program must have completed a master's degree in the history of art. A copy of the M.A. thesis or substantial paper of scholarly nature should be submitted at the time of application. Applications for fellowships and teaching assistantships must be received in the department by January 15. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required of all applicants to the graduate program. Applicants whose native language is not English must receive a score of at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), taken within two years of their application to UCSB. Students who have earned a bachelor's or master's degree from a U.S. college or university are exempt from this requirement. A scholarly writing sample is required.

Degree Requirements

Before advancement to candidacy, students must demonstrate their ability to read two foreign languages: usually French and German, but any language essential to their field is acceptable.

The Ph.D. program requires a minimum of 28 units of graduate courses, 20 of which must be seminar units, to be completed by the end of the second year of residency. During the third year, students should complete their major and minor written and oral-qualifying examinations, develop a dissertation proposal, and advance to candidacy. The student's doctoral committee will consist of at least three ladder faculty from the department, chaired by the student's dissertation director; outside members where relevant, may be added.

Optional Ph.D. Emphasis in Women's Studies

The Women's Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary doctoral emphasis to students previously admitted to a Ph.D. program in art history, English, French, German, history, religious studies, or sociology. Students pursuing the emphasis in women's studies must complete four graduate courses; only one of the four required courses may be taken in the student's home department. The courses are Women's Studies 270, Feminist Epistemology; Women's Studies 280, Research Seminar; a course in feminist theory selected from those approved by the Women's Studies Program; and a topical seminar that addresses topics relevant to the study of women and gender, offered either in the Women's Studies Program or in another department. The student's doctoral committee must include a faculty member who is officially affiliated with the Women's Studies Program, either as one of the three required members or as an additional appointee. This committee conducts the student's Ph.D. qualifying examinations and supervises the student's dissertation research. Contact the Women's Studies Program for additional information on faculty interests, course offerings, and program requirements.
