    After acceptance into the program, you should speak with the Director of MA Graduate Studies to plan your first semester of coursework. All art history faculty members are available for consultation about the academic program, and we encourage you to meet with each of us to discover areas of mutual interest. We look forward to working with you as you navigate the more intense academic environment of the graduate experience.<\/p>\n

    -COURSEWORK<\/h3>\n

    The MA degree in Art History is comprised of a minimum of 30 credit hours. This must include 24 credit hours of graduate-level coursework in art history or related disciplines (8 courses at 3 credit hours per course) plus 6 credit hours of Thesis Research (3 credit hours per semester after advancing to candidacy). Remedial courses in art history or foreign language instruction fall outside the 30-hour requirement. All coursework used to fulfill the MA degree requirement must be numbered at the 5000-level and above. Students in their first year normally enroll in 3 graduate courses per semester (9 credit hours).<\/p>\n

    In your first semester, you will enroll in\u00a0ARTH 6800 Critical Theory and Methodology of Art History<\/strong>\u00a0(meets with ARTH 4000 Good Looking), a class that investigates differing approaches to and perspectives on the study of art history and visual culture, as well as\u00a0ARTH 6810 Visual Intersections<\/strong>, an interdisciplinary graduate seminar, addressing selected problems, issues, and methods of interpreting and writing about images and objects. You will also enroll in the ARTH 6000-level course that meets with the Art History Seminar (varies by semester: ARTH 6830, 6840, 6860, 6850, 6870, or 6880).\u00a0Towards the end of the first semester and by no later than Spring Break, you should form the Supervisory Committee that advises you on the remainder of your coursework and MA research.<\/p>\n

    In your second semester, you will again enroll in ARTH 6810 Visual Intersections and the ARTH 6000-level course that meets with the Art History Seminar. You may select your third course from any graduate-level course in art history or a related discipline, with the approval of your advisor.\u00a0By June 15th (if not sooner) you must notify your advisor of which paper completed during your first year you will be revising and submitting to your supervisory committee as your qualifying paper. Your qualifying paper must initially be approved by your advisor and should be submitted to your committee by August 1. After your qualifying paper has been approved by your entire committee, you will be advanced to candidacy. At this same time, you should discuss with your advisor possible topics for your MA research. Your advisor will determine whether the topic is suitable to pursue as an MA Project or an MA Thesis. Working in consultation with your advisor, you should submit a prospectus of your MA research to your committee no later than September 15.<\/p>\n

    In your second year (third and fourth semesters), you will enroll in a combination of graduate-level courses, directed study credit hours, and a total of 6 credit hours of Project\/Thesis Research (ARTH 6970). Please note that after advancing to candidacy, you must enroll in a minimum of 3 Project\/Thesis Research credit hours per semester.\u00a0Students receiving a Teaching Assistantship and participating in the\u00a0<\/em>Tuition Benefit Program<\/a>\u00a0must enroll in a minimum of 9 credit hours.<\/p>\n

    At the end of your fourth semester, you will defend your MA research in a public oral examination. A \"B\" average must be maintained to satisfy the MA requirements, and Credit\/No Credit is not an option for any coursework in art history.<\/p>\n

    Students are encouraged to check their degree progress periodically, using the\u00a0Electronic Graduate Record File<\/a>. Please bring any questions or concerns regarding degree progress to the Director of MA Graduate Studies.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n

    -SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE<\/h3>\n

    Your committee is crucial to your graduate program. It is responsible for helping you shape an effective course of study, assessing and approving your qualifying paper, reading and approving your MA research, and administering the final MA research defense. The committee serves as your chief advocate to the department, the College of Fine Arts, and the Graduate School. You must form a three-member committee during your second semester in residence before Spring Break. In consultation with your advisor, you should approach prospective committee members best suited to mentor you on your research topic to determine their willingness and availability to serve on your committee. Two of the three (chair and another member) must be selected from University of Utah full-time Art History Program faculty. You are encouraged to consider a faculty member from another department as the third committee member, invited on the basis of special expertise in your declared area of concentration. You will be expected to consult with your Supervisory Committee Chair each semester, regarding your progress through the program. Once all three faculty members have agreed to serve on your Supervisory Committee, you must speak with the\u00a0<\/em>Graduate Secretary<\/a>\u00a0about filing your proposal for a Supervisory Committee in the Graduate Degree Tracking System. The Dean of the Graduate School gives final approval on all proposed supervisory committees.<\/a><\/p>\n

    -LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT<\/h3>\n

    In the Art History graduate program, you must show standard proficiency\u00a0in at least one foreign language approved by your supervisory committee. Standard proficiency assumes a reading-comprehension level expected of a student who has completed one year of college foreign-language instruction or the equivalent.\u00a0Proficiency certification should take place in the\u00a0second semester<\/strong>\u00a0of graduate work. You may consult the\u00a0Graduate Language Requirements<\/a>\u00a0for further information on standard proficiency and proficiency certification.<\/p>\n

    -QUALIFYING PAPER<\/h3>\n

    Before beginning MA research and in order to be advanced to candidacy by the Dean of the Graduate School, you must submit a qualifying paper to your supervisory committee. The qualifying paper must demonstrate competency in graduate level art historical research and critical writing necessary for MA research. All incompletes and failing grades must be rectified before the paper is submitted. Approval of your qualifying paper will permit you to apply for candidacy; if your paper is not approved by your committee, you may resubmit it with revisions one time. It is not possible to submit a qualifying paper a third time. If a revised qualifying paper does not demonstrate competency for graduate level art historical research, then you will be dismissed from the program.<\/a><\/p>\n

    -ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY<\/h3>\n

    Once your supervisory committee has approved your qualifying paper, you must speak with the\u00a0Graduate Assistant<\/a>\u00a0about filing your official\u00a0Program of Study<\/strong>,\u00a0Report of Comprehensive Examination<\/strong>\u00a0(Qualifying Paper), and\u00a0Application for Candidacy<\/strong>\u00a0in the Graduate Records Tracking System. Each of these records will be forwarded to your Supervisory Committee and the Director of Graduate Studies for approval. You will be admitted to candidacy for the Master's Degree when these items have been approved by the Graduate School. At that time, you may contact the Director of MA Graduate Studies about thesis hour registration.\u00a0Please note that students must be admitted to candidacy at least\u00a0one semester<\/strong>\u00a0prior to graduation.<\/em><\/p>\n

    -PROSPECTUS<\/h3>\n

    After advancing to candidacy, you must present a brief (3-5 page) prospectus to your Supervisory Committee for approval. The function of the prospectus is to identify the MA research topic, outline the scope of the project, and specify the research to be undertaken. A preliminary bibliography should accompany your prospectus.<\/p>\n

    -TRAVEL AWARDS<\/h3>\n

    The Art History and Visual Studies Program offers a limited number of\u00a0Etta Keith Eskridge Travel Awards<\/strong>\u00a0for graduate student research. The awards are intended for students whose research and MA thesis projects will directly benefit by research-related travel. The Eskridge Travel Award is intended to help subsidize, not cover, the full costs of a research trip. The maximum award amounts are $500 for domestic travel and $800 for international travel. Awards will be made on the basis of the quality of the proposal and the availability of funds. Graduate students enrolled in the MA program in Art History and Visual Studies are eligible to apply. Preference will be given to students who have completed their qualifying paper and been admitted to candidacy with a well-defined project or thesis plan. The proposed travel schedule should not interfere with either regular coursework or teaching responsibilities. The art history faculty will review proposals for the Eskridge Award three times per year. Deadlines for complete proposals are\u00a0September 15<\/strong>,\u00a0February 1<\/strong>, and\u00a0April 15<\/strong>. Please contact the Director of Graduate Studies for application instructions.\u00a0Graduate Student Travel Assistance<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is also available from the Graduate School, to students who will present MA research at a professional conference. Application is made through the Graduate School, and up to $400 may be granted, to be matched by department funding for a total budget of up to $800.\u00a0Please note that both the Chair of your Supervisory Committee and the Chair of the Art and Art History Department will need to provide a signature in support of your application.<\/em><\/p>\n

    -THESIS OR PROJECT REQUIREMENT<\/h3>\n

    The MA candidate must write a thesis, or complete a project, on an approved, specialized topic appropriate to the field of Art History and will enroll in ARTH 6970 Project\/Thesis Research (minimum 6 semester hours).<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0MA Thesis<\/strong>\u00a0demonstrates independent research and the use of scholarly methods of historical and critical interpretation. The thesis must adhere to the guidelines in the\u00a0Graduate School's A Handbook for Theses and Dissertations<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a0We encourage you to use it in the preparation of all your drafts. The handbook also contains a description of the procedure to submit the thesis to the Graduate School. Please make sure that you have scheduled sufficient time to obtain permission letters to reproduce images of works of art under copyright protection. Please note that the thesis office calendar requires six weeks to ascertain that a defended, committee-approved thesis meets formal scholarly standards. At the time of delivery of the final draft of your thesis to the thesis editor, official photographs and letters of permission for the images must be in hand. You will not graduate until this process is completed. Following a successful defense and after all requested changes have been made to the thesis, your committee will sign the\u00a0<\/em>Supervisory Committee Approval of Thesis<\/a>\u00a0form, and the Chair of your Supervisory Committee along with the Chair of Art and Art History will sign the\u00a0Final Reading Approval<\/a>\u00a0form, to be submitted to the Dean of Graduate Studies for signature.<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0MA Project<\/strong> is comprised of research and a written report on a specialized topic appropriate to the field of Art History. The format and focus of the MA Project is worked out in consultation with the Chair of the Supervisory Committee and may include such things as the production of a museological object file, an exhibition prospectus, a pedagogical dossier with sample syllabi and literature reviews, primary archival research, or other professional scholarly studies as deemed appropriate by the art history faculty. Following a successful defense and after all requested changes have been made to the project, your committee will sign the Supervisory Committee Approval of Thesis form, and the Chair of your Supervisory Committee along with the Chair of Art and Art History will sign the Final Reading Approval form, to be submitted to the Director of Art History Graduate Studies for signature. A digital record of your MA Project will be presented to the Marriott Library for housing in the\u00a0institutional repository and digital archive of the University of Utah<\/a>. The Marriott\u2019s digital asset management system allows content to be accessed on a limited basis, through campus IP or CIS login. Students also have the option of depositing their Project to\u00a0<\/em>USpace<\/a>,<\/em> an institutional repository of the University of Utah. This open-access archive gives greater visibility to your Project, ensuring that even individuals that don't have access to the University database can still access your work.<\/p>\n

    Although your committee chair is your principal advisor during MA research, you should keep all committee members regularly informed of your work-in-progress. A copy of your penultimate draft, with photocopies of any images, should be submitted to each committee member one month before a public oral examination date, which is set by the Supervisory Committee chair. As per Graduate School policy, a project or thesis defense is always open to the public; you and your committee chair must notify the Director of MA Studies to ensure that notices are properly posted two weeks before the oral defense date.<\/p>\n

    -MINIMUM REGISTRATION<\/h3>\n

    By University policy, you must maintain minimum registration (Fall and Spring) of one course per semester until you complete all requirements for the MA in Art History. During your thesis preparation, you must register for at least one course each semester until, and including, the one in which you schedule your thesis defense. You do not have to register for any courses after you have defended your thesis, but will not graduate until all Graduate School requirements are satisfied. If you do not maintain minimum registration or submit an official Graduate Student Request for\u00a0Leave of Absence<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for approval by the Graduate School, your Supervisory Committee will be terminated and you will be put on inactive status by the Graduate School. You would need to reapply to the Graduate School Admissions Office to reactivate your file. Graduate Records maintains your permanent file.\u00a0Please note that teaching and research assistants must register for a minimum of 9 credit hours during each semester in which they are employed, in order to be eligible for the\u00a0<\/em>Tuition Benefit Program<\/a>.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

    -FAMILY LEAVE POLICY<\/h3>\n

    Students who need time off for caregiving can take a period of up to 16 weeks for a Family Leave of absence. Students who experience a medical condition associated with their pregnancy and need accommodations recommended by their medical provider should contact Sherrie Hayashi, Director, Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Title IX\/ADA\/Section 504 Coordinator University of Utah, 135 Park Building 201 South Presidents Circle Salt Lake City, UT 84112,\u00a0sherrie.hayashi@utah.edu<\/a>. The Title IX Coordinator will work with the student, appropriate faculty, and administration to determine what accommodations are reasonable and effective. The student will be ineligible for financial support during the semester of familial leave. Please talk with the Director of MA Graduate Studies if you wish to apply for Family Leave.<\/a><\/p>\n

    -DISMISSAL POLICY<\/h3>\n

    All graduate students are expected to maintain standards of professional and ethical conduct, as specified in Article XI of the Student Code. Gross professional, legal, and\/or ethical misconduct constitute grounds for dismissal from the program. Once you have successfully advanced to candidacy, you will be informed in writing of any concerns about or deficiencies in your work or conduct that could jeopardize your good standing or continued enrollment in the program. This notification will include advice as to how you can amend these deficiencies. Failure to effectively amend these deficiencies within 45 days will result in dismissal from the program. In the rare instance of dismissal from the Program (whether for academic reasons or misconduct), the dismissal procedure will be as follows:<\/p>\n
