In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose (as specific as possible about the applicant's interests in art history in approximately 400 words) and a curriculum vitae. Ph.D.: A copy of the applicant's M.A. thesis or, if no thesis was written, two 10 page, or one 20 page, research papers, and a completed language survey (available as a download from the Art History website). Application materials cannot be returned or forwarded. An M.A. in Art History is usually required for admission to the Ph.D. degree program. However, students with an M.A. degree in other disciplines may apply for admission. An M.A. in Art History from another institution may be accepted as equivalent to that from UCLA or the holder may be accepted into the program at a stage determined by the graduate review committee. All incoming Ph.D. students must show evidence of having taken and passed with a grade of B or better at least two courses (upper division and/or graduate) in areas not related to the proposed major. |
