The art history PhD program generally consists of two years of academic coursework, crafting a qualifying paper, taking preliminary examinations across three specialized areas, developing a dissertation proposal, and ultimately completing the dissertation. During their coursework phase, students gain teaching experience by assisting professors with undergraduate classes and participating in the department's teaching seminar. Upon reaching ABD (All But Dissertation) status, candidates focus on researching and composing their dissertation, often splitting their time between Chicago and international research locations. Typically, the program mandates two years of intensive full-time study, with students taking three courses per quarter during their initial two years, chosen in collaboration with their faculty advisor and the Director of Graduate Studies.
