2007-08 Requirements for the M.A. in Art History

Foreign Language Requirements

Candidates must demonstrate a reading proficiency in two foreign languages. Typically, one of these languages is German, and the other is to be French, Italian, or Spanish. On the recommendation of a student's advisor, and with the approval of the graduate officer, a student may substitute one of the above named languages with another foreign language deemed appropriate for a specialized field. Proficiency in one language must be demonstrated before the end of the first year of study. A reading knowledge of the second language must be demonstrated before the end of the second year. Language examinations are administered within the department and consist of one-hour translations (with dictionary). You may arrange a language examination with an individual faculty member (please see graduate officer for details).
