This comprehensive approach spans the extensive historical timeline of these civilizations while offering focused exploration of particular historical periods. The Penn Museum and Penn's Center for East Asian Studies provide additional resources for investigating East Asian arts and cultures. Faculty members from the History of Art department, its Graduate Group, East Asian Languages and Civilizations, and the Center work together in both instruction and student mentorship.

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.
