Stanford's History of Art doctoral program maintains an intimate size, enabling close collaboration between graduate students and faculty advisors. Students pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree specializing in specific disciplines such as Film & Media Studies, while building comprehensive knowledge of art history. The program encourages interdisciplinary exploration through coursework in other departments or university-wide initiatives. While the Department of Art & Art History grants both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, the Master of Arts in Art History exclusively serves as an intermediate milestone for doctoral candidates progressing toward their Ph.D. requirements.
