艺术史哲学博士[超越学士]

尽管艺术史系同时提供文学硕士和哲学博士学位，但授予MA的目的是部分满足博士学位的要求。该系不允许招收希望仅攻读硕士学位的学生。博士学位课程设计为在六年内完成。前两年致力于强化课程学习和满足硕士学位的写作要求（论文或两篇合格论文）。第三年和第四年专门从事额外的课程，学习和参加候选人资格考试，以及准备论文说明书。第五和第六年致力于研究和撰写论文。除了艺术史系提供的专业领域之外，学生还可以利用大学提供的跨学科课程，包括以下课程：宗教研究中心，中世纪和文艺复兴研究及电影研究中心。
Although the Department of History of Art offers both the Master of Arts and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees, the MA is awarded in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD. The department does not admit students who wish to work solely toward the master's degree. The PhD program is designed to be completed in six years. The first two years are devoted to intensive coursework and to the fulfillment of the writing requirements for the MA degree (either a thesis or two qualifying papers). Years three and four are devoted to additional coursework, to studying for and taking the candidacy exams, and to preparing the dissertation prospectus. The fifth and sixth years are devoted to researching and writing the dissertation. In addition to the areas of specialization offered within the History of Art Department, students may also take advantage of interdisciplinary programs offered at the university, including those through: the Center for the Study of Religion, the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and Film Studies.
