In addition to the requirements listed below, all students must submit one transcript showing courses and grades per school attended, a statement of academic purpose, a writing sample (a course paper, term paper, etc.), and three letters of evaluation from academic sources.

Generally, applicants are expected to have taken a minimum of four undergraduate courses in art history, archaeology, or other fields related to art history.
