Degree RequirementsStudents must complete 30 credits including at least one directed research course. Students pursuing the M.A. must write a thesis; the fine arts administration students must complete an approved internship. All students must pass a comprehensive examination and are required to demonstrate a reading knowledge of two foreign languages, German and French or Italian, by passing an examination. The first language examination must be taken before or upon the completion of 15 credits, the second before or upon the completion of 30 credits. (Requests regarding substitute languages can be made to the graduate director.) All students must also pass a comprehensive examination. Students have three years to finish work for the degree. Special Concentration Students choosing the fine arts administration option must complete a total of 36 credits. Fifteen credits are taken in the Department of Art History, and an additional 12 credits in the School of Business and Management. One elective graduate course is taken in either area. The business component is made up of one course (each) in the fields of: accounting, management, and marketing, plus one elective course. The courses taken by fine arts administration students are among the basic graduate courses offered by the School of Business and Management for those with little or no background. Following the completion of all course requirements, students complete an internship for which six credits are granted. Three credits are awarded for a halftime internship (10 hours per week), or six for a full-time internship (20 hours per week) in a semester. Degree Requirements The program requires 60 graduate-level credits (500-level or above) in art history beyond the B.A. with a minimum grade point average of 3.5: at least 21 of these credits must be in seminars (600-level courses). Up to nine can be taken in graduate-level courses outside the department (but at Temple) which are relevant to the student's field; while this is at the discretion of the graduate adviser, additional courses can be taken outside the department only with the consent of the graduate faculty. Up to six credits can be taken in directed research and up to six more in writing the dissertation. A qualifying examination and a dissertation are all required for the doctoral degree.
