All application files are individually reviewed by members of the faculty, who pay particular attention to the applicants' statements of purpose, letters of recommendation, and academic records. Applicants are encouraged to come to visit the Graduate Group as part of the application process, making appointments to speak with faculty in their areas of interest.
While the Graduate Group has established no absolute prerequisites for admission, candidates for advanced degrees are expected to bring to their graduate study a superior undergraduate liberal arts education, including adequate preparation in the languages needed for the study of art history and a record of successful work at intermediate and advanced undergraduate levels in the history of art. Students with demonstrated high academic achievement in the liberal arts but without special preparation in the history of art may also be admitted, but they are expected to complete their preparation by enrolling in selected courses at the 400 and 600 levels.
Applicants to the Graduate Group are required to submit their scores on the Graduate Record Examination, and non-native speakers of English must submit a TOEFL score. All applicants should send a written sample of art-historical or related research.
