2007-08 Requirements for the M.A. in Art History
Master's Thesis or Paper
The student may choose to write a master's thesis or paper.
Option A: Master's Thesis:
Master's Thesis: A master's thesis is written according to the thesis
guidelines of the University and is ultimately deposited in the Graduate
School Thesis Office. A student choosing this option will register for
6 credits of Art H 600, "Thesis Research," during a single semester or
split over two semesters, typically during a student's second year of
study. A successful thesis must be approved by at least the student's
advisor, a second reader, and department head, all of whom should be members
of the graduate faculty/affiliate faculty of the Department of Art History.
Please be aware of the Graduate School deadlines for completing a thesis
for any particular semester. http://www.gradsch.psu.edu/calendar/gradcal.html
Be sure to follow the requirements of the Thesis Guide from the Graduate
School Thesis Office, 115 Kern Building.
Option B: Master's Paper
Master's Paper: A master's paper does not need to follow the thesis guidelines
of the University and is ultimately deposited in the department. A student
choosing this option will register for 6 credits of Art H 596, "Individual
Studies," during a single semester or split over two semesters, typically
during a student's second year of study. A successful paper must be approved
by at least the student's advisor and a second reader, both of whom should
be members of the graduate faculty/affiliate faculty of the Department
of Art History. It is the advisor's responsibility to establish reasonable
format expectations for the paper. A "Signatory
Page for a Master's Paper" (PDF) should be picked up from Christine
Butts (229 Arts). When the paper has been approved, it will be deposited
with the department head no later than one week before the end of classes
for a given semester.
