Overview

The Art History program’s orientation from Oklahoma State University, as well as its temporal and geographic breadth, provides exemplary preparation for M.A. candidates entering Ph.D. programs both nationally and within the state. We also anticipate our graduates will have a competitive edge in a variety of other professions, including those affiliated with museums, galleries, libraries, visual resources management, and arts administration.

What you'll learn

The M.A. degree requires a minimum of 30 hours of graduate coursework, a thesis, and a defense. Students will select two geographic areas of concentration within the five currently offered in the Department of Art, Graphic Design and Art History, one to be the major area and the other the minor (the current areas are Europe, United States, Latin America, East Asia (China and Japan), and the Middle East/Islamic World).

A selection of courses, both lecture and seminar, will be taken in these areas. At least one course outside the department will be in the major area. Generally, the master’s thesis will relate to the cultural connections between the major and minor areas.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

The Art of the Crusades: Multiculturalism in the Medieval World
Art East and West: Perceptions, Biases and Borrowings
Modernity and Pan-Asianism in Asia
Miraculous Landscapes: Art and Pilgrimage in Latin America
The American Southwest
Theory and Methodology
