Master of Fine Arts Degree.-The Department offers the MFA degree in art with concentrations in ceramics, crea- tive photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculp- ture, and multi-media. Enrollment is competitive and limited. Candidates for admission should have adequate undergraduate training in art. Deficiences may be cor- rected before beginning graduate study. Applicants for admission must submit a portfolio by March 1 for fall admission. Minimum two years residency is normally required for completion of the requirements for this degree which for studio majors culminates with an MFA exhibition. The department reserves the right to retain student work for purposes of record, exhibition, or in- struction. The MFA requires 48 credit hours. ARH 6897 is re- quired for all MFA majors. ARH 5805 is required for all students who select the written thesis. Students electing the creative project in lieu of written thesis should see the Graduate Coordinator for Department requirements. Twenty-one hours are required in the area of specializa- tion for studio majors which will be taken in the following sequence: ART 6926C, ART 6927C, ART 6928C, ART 6929C. Based on the student's academic needs, one of the sequence classes will be repeated for credit. Ten credits of art electives (four hours must be in art history), six hours of outside electives, and six hours of individual project or thesis complete the course requirements. Normally, the Candidacy Refiew Committee will re- view the student's progress at the end of the first year of graduate study to determine the student's fitness for candidacy. Failure to pass the review will require adjust- ments to the student's program or, if warranted, dismissal from the program. Master of Arts Degree in Art History.-The Department offers the Master of Arts with emphasis in areas of Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern, and Nodn- Western, including African, American Indian, Indian, Latin American, and Oceanic. A minimum of 37 credit hours is required: ARH 5805 (three credits), 28 hours with at least one course in four areas of emphasis, and ARH 6971 (six credits). Nine credits may be taken in related areas with the Graduate Coordinator's approval. Students must pass a comprehensive art history exami- nation at the beginning of the second year for admission to candidacy. Failure to pass the examination will result in adjustments to the student's program or, if warranted, dismissal from the program. Reading proficiency in a foreign language appropriate to the major area of study must be demonstrated before thesis research is begun. Language courses are notapplicable toward degree credit. Art history students may also participate in courses offered by the State University System's programs in London and Florence.
