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.
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.
Preparation for the major. Twelve units from Art History 5A, 6A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L, 50.
Students planning graduate training in art history are advised to develop a reading knowledge of German, French, or Italian.
Upper-division major. Forty-eight upper-division units are required. Four courses in art history of which one course must be from four of the five period divisions: (1) Ancient (101 series, 102 series, 103 series, 104 series, 186A-B), (2) Medieval (105 series, 106 series, 186C-D), (3) Renaissance/Baroque (107 series, 108 series, 109 series, 110 series, 111 series, 112 series, 113 series, 114 series, 115 series, 116 series, 186E-F-G-H-I), (4) Modern pre-1900 (117 series, 118 series, 121A, 136A, 136J, 138A, 186J), (5) Modern Post 1900 (119 series, 120 series, 121B-C, 123 series, 125B, 136B, 136E, 136J, 138E, 144A-B-C, 186K); two undergraduate courses in non-Western art history (may include African, Native-American, Pre-Columbian/Colonial, Islamic, Asian-121F-G, 127 series, 128 series, 129A, 130 series, 131 series, 132 series, 133 series, 134 series, 135 series, 140C, 186N-P-Q-R); four upper-division elective courses in art history; two upper-division courses from the following disciplines: art studio; classics; comparative literature; dance; dramatic art; East Asian languages and literature; English; film studies; French and Italian; Germanic, Slavic, and Semitic studies; history; music; philosophy; Spanish and Portuguese; and religious studies.
Note: Students who wish to focus on a particular area, civilization, or branch of art history (i.e., ancient, architecture, or modern) are encouraged to speak to departmental advisors or faculty. For those eligible, the focus may also include an undergraduate honors project.
Bachelor of Arts--Art History--Non-Western Emphasis
Preparation for the major. Four units from Art History 6D-E-H-K, 8 units in art history from 5A, 6A-B-C-F-G-I-L, 50, or courses not used above.
Students planning graduate training in art history are advised to develop a reading knowledge of German, French, Italian, or a language related to their non-Western area of emphasis.
Upper-division major. Forty-eight upper-division units are required. Four courses in art history: one course from Pre-Modern, Ancient to Baroque (101 series, 102 series, 103 series, 104 series, 105 series, 106 series, 107 series, 108 series, 109 series, 110 series, 111 series, 112 series, 113 series, 114 series, 115 series, 116 series, 186A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I), one course from Modern, 1750 to present (117 series, 118 series, 119 series, 120 series, 121A-B-C, 123 series, 125B, 136A-B-E, 136J, 138A-E, 144A-B-C, 186J-K); six undergraduate courses in non-Western art history (may include African, native-American, Pre-Columbian/Colonial, Islamic, Asian-121F-G, 127 series, 128 series, 129A, 130 series, 131 series, 132 series, 133 series, 134 series, 135 series, 140C, 186N-P-Q-R), two additional undergraduate art history courses not used above; two undergraduate elective courses in art history; two undergraduate courses from the following disciplines: art studio; classics; comparative literature; dance; dramatic art; East Asian languages and literature; English; film studies; French and Italian; Germanic, Slavic, and Semitic studies; history; music; philosophy; Spanish and Portuguese; and religious studies.

All courses to be applied to the minor must be completed on a letter-grade basis, including courses offered both by the Department of the History of Art and Architecture and those offered by other departments and applied to the minor.
Preparation for the minor. Eight lower-division units in art history (excluding Art History 1).
Upper-division minor. Twenty upper-division units in art history. Students wishing to develop a concentration in a particular area should consult the faculty undergraduate advisor.
Note: Substitutions and waivers are subject to approval by the chair of the department. Please see "Academic Minors" for special conditions governing minors in the College of Letters and Science.
The department offers both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, accepting applicants with a B.A. into the M.A./Ph.D. program, and those with a M.A. into the Ph.D. program. The department does not offer a terminal M.A. degree, and students who are interested only in pursuing the M.A. degree are not accepted.
Admission
The department seeks applicants with a demonstrated potential for outstanding creative research and a clear sense of intellectual and professional direction. A B.A. in the history of art is not essential for admission to the M.A./Ph.D. program, but applicants should have serious training in some branch of the humanities or social sciences. Applicants to the Ph.D. program must have completed an M.A. in the history of art.
In addition to departmental requirements for admission, applicants must also meet university requirements for admission described in the section "Graduate Education at UCSB." Applications for admission to the program must be received by December 15. They must include university application forms, copies of all of the applicant's college and university transcripts, three letters of recommendation from appropriate academic or professional supervisors, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, a statement of purpose explaining reasons for wanting to pursue graduate work at UCSB, and a sample of written work indicative of scholarly interests and skills (applicants to the Ph.D. program are expected to submit a copy of their thesis). Applicants for fellowships and teaching assistantships must also be received by December 15.
Although all students entering the graduate program are expected to pursue the Ph.D., continuation into the program is not automatic. Upon completion of the M.A. degree, students must apply to the department for matriculation into the Ph.D. program. A faculty evaluation of the student's entire record will determine whether the student goes forward with the matriculation process into the Ph.D. program or instead receives a terminal M.A. degree.
Entry into the Ph.D. program requires that the student have completed the M.A. thesis with honors, and satisfied all departmental course and language requirements at the M.A. level.
The applicant must submit a brief letter of application to the department's graduate committee as well as letters of endorsement from two ladder faculty members in the department, of whom at least one agrees to supervise the applicant's Ph.D. work. The application and faculty letters must be received at the time that 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 regarding matriculation.
Degree Requirements
Departmental degree requirements supplement those established by the university, described in the section "Graduate Education at UCSB." Our principle aim has been to preserve a maximum flexibility, allowing students the opportunity to craft courses of study suited to their particular interests and needs. Ph.D. students, for instance, have the option of adding an emphasis in women's studies.
Students have two options: option one (thesis) requires a minimum of 32 units of coursework (normally eight courses) for a letter grade plus a thesis; option two requires a minimum of 36 units (nine courses) plus a comprehensive examination. Students are expected to complete the M.A. within six quarters or two years.
Students are required to take the two-term proseminar in art-historical methods (Art History 200A-B) and a total of four graduate seminars (16 units) in at least three of the following four fields: Western Art to 1750, Modern Art, Non-Western Art, Architecture. Remaining units can be taken in the form of additional seminars, upper-division undergraduate lecture courses (which graduate students take under the course number 295 or 596) or independent research; 8 of these units (two courses) may be taken outside the department.
By the beginning of the second year of residence, students must have demonstrated an ability to read one foreign language necessary for art-historical research (normally French, German, or Italian). They do so either by passing an exam administered by the department or by completing an approved university course (either three quarters of a standard language course, or a course designed for graduate students) maintaining at least a B average.
Doctor of Philosophy--Art History
The Ph.D. requires a minimum of 28 units (normally seven courses) in graduate coursework, 20 of which (five courses) must be seminar units; these must be completed by the end of the second year of residency. Before advancement to candidacy, the student must demonstrate an ability to read two foreign languages. Students are required to take the proseminar in art historical methodology and theory (Art History 200A-B). Advancement to candidacy takes place when the student passes individualized examinations in the area of specialty (major field) and a second (minor) field, and when, shortly after the completion of the exams, a formal dissertation proposal is approved by a faculty committee. The committee will be composed of at least two members of the UCSB Academic Senate in the Department of History of Art and Architecture, one of whom will be the chair. The third member may be a ladder faculty member from the department, another UCSB department, or another UC campus. Advancement to candidacy is expected to take place in the third year. The degree is awarded upon approval of the completed dissertation.
Optional Ph.D. Emphasis in European Medieval Studies
The Medieval Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary doctoral emphasis to students previously admitted to a Ph.D. program in the Departments of Dramatic Art, English, French and Italian, History, History of Art and Architecture, Music, Religious Studies, and Spanish and Portuguese. Students pursuing the emphasis in European medieval studies must receive a grade of B or better in each of the following: Medieval Latin (Latin 103); one course in a vernacular, western European or Middle Eastern medieval language (English 205, English 230, French 206, Spanish 222A, Spanish 222B, Portuguese 222, Religious Studies 148A, Religious Studies 148 B, Religious Studies 210); Paleography and/or Diplomatics (History 215S, History 215T); Medieval Studies 200A-B-C; and 8 additional units in graduate courses on medieval topics. Students may petition to have appropriate courses from other institutions, or independent study, substituted for these requirements. Medieval Studies 200A-B-C is the program's colloquium series; graduate students in the emphasis attend the series and write brief papers on each colloquium (one per term), to be reviewed by the chair of the program (2 units). To qualify for the emphasis, at least one member of a Ph.D. candidate's dissertation committee must be an affiliated faculty member of the European Medieval Studies Program. Contact the European Medieval Studies Program for additional information on faculty interests, course offerings, and program requirements, or visit our website at www.medievalstudies.ucsb.edu.
Optional Ph.D. Emphasis in Women's Studies
The Women's Studies Program, with over 30 core and affiliated faculty members in over eleven disciplines, serves as a mode of interdisciplinary work and scholarly collaboration at UCSB. Women's studies doctoral emphasis students are required to complete successfully four seminars that will enhance their understanding of feminist pedagogy, feminist theory, and topics relevant to the study of women, gender, and/or sexuality. Using an interdepartmental set of conversations and intellectual questions, women's studies support a multifaceted undergraduate curriculum at UCSB. Graduate emphasis students are encouraged to apply to teach women's studies courses as teaching assistants and associates as part of their women's studies training.
Applicants must first be admitted to, or currently enrolled in, a UCSB Ph.D. program participating in the women's studies graduate emphasis: anthropology; comparative literature; dramatic art; English; French and Italian; Germanic, Slavic, and Semitic Studies; history; history of art and architecture; religious studies; or sociology. Candidates complete four graduate courses and select a member of the women's studies faculty or affiliated faculty to serve on their Ph.D. exam and dissertation committees. Applications to the women's studies doctoral emphasis may be submitted at any stage of Ph.D. work and will be considered throughout the academic year.
Students pursuing the emphasis in women's studies will successfully complete four graduate courses. Only one may be taken in the student's home department.
1. Issues in Feminist Epistemology and Pedagogy (Women's Studies 270/Fall). A one-quarter seminar that considers women's studies as a distinct field. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of feminist theories of knowledge production and teaching practices. Readings cover past and present critical debates and provide theoretical approaches through which to analyze interdisciplinary epistemological and pedagogical issues.
2. Special Topics in Women's Studies (594 AA-ZZ). A one-quarter seminar
offered by a women's studies faculty member on topics of central concern to
the field of women's studies.
Or
Research Practicum (Women's Studies 280). A cross-disciplinary seminar in
which fundamental questions in contemporary feminist research practice are considered
in light of students' own graduate projects. Students may fulfill the Area 2
requirement by taking either a Special Topics Seminar or the Research Practicum.
3. Feminist Theories. A one-quarter graduate seminar in feminist theory offered by any department, including women's studies.
4. Topical Seminar. A one-quarter graduate seminar, outside the student's
home department, that addresses topics relevant to the study of women, gender,
and/or sexuality.
