Huey Copeland's academic work centers on examining modern and contemporary art through the lens of African diaspora history and cultural expression. The University of Pennsylvania's doctoral program offers comprehensive education in art history and critical methodologies, while allowing specialization in chosen disciplines. Graduates with a Ph.D. gain excellent qualifications for university teaching roles or museum and gallery curatorial positions. Professors collaborate extensively with doctoral candidates to design tailored study plans and guide them through assistantships, museum internships, and various professional pathways.

Qualification Requirements
The committee reviews each application very carefully and weighs all aspects of a candidate's preparation for graduate study. The primary elements of the application include: academic transcript, (3) letters of recommendations, TOEFL scores for international students, personal statement (1000 word maximum), and writing sample (30 double-spaced pages maximum, including images). All offer insights into a student's past achievements and prospects for future development. It is normally expected that students have a solid background in art history, but it is not necessary to have majored in art history. In addition, applicants should demonstrate good proficiency in at least one foreign language. Two foreign languages will be required of all Ph.D and MA students before they advance to candidacy. GRE Test are no longer required for admissions.
