The University of Pennsylvania exhibits remarkable interdisciplinary connections in visual media, especially printmaking and its cinematic counterparts. Julie Davis specializes in Japanese woodblock prints spanning the last 250 years, while Karen Redrobe explores motion pictures through her film courses, examining both animated and live-action cinema as forms of public media. Davis also participates actively in Penn's vibrant History of Book community, which gathers weekly for interdisciplinary discussions at the Kislak Rare Book Center. This exceptional resource, housing medieval manuscripts alongside rare books, serves scholars across historical periods and geographical specialties. Faculty collaborations have yielded numerous print exhibitions with partners including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Ross Gallery, and Penn Libraries - notably Davis's recent seminar on contemporary Japanese landscape prints and Andr Dombrowski's exhibition examining media during the Dreyfus affair.

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.
