The PhD Program
The PhD program in this department is considered one of the foremost in the country. The doctoral degree is offered in a wide range of fields from Ancient Near Eastern art and archaeology to contemporary art and critical theory, with most of the major fields in between strongly represented: Aegean, Greek, Roman; western Medieval and Byzantine; Italian French and British Renaissance and Baroque, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth-century European art; and the history of photography.
There is considerable strength in the history of architecture, as befits a university with the foremost architectural library in the country. The Department is also proud of its strengths in art outside of Europe and offers degrees in pre-Columbian art and archaeology, American art, and in the arts of China, Japan, India and sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, courses are regularly taught in Native American art.
About fifteen students are accepted each year for the PhD program. Most students receive full funding, including tuition and stipend. Standard fellowships are for five years, and involve teaching or other types of department service during at least three of the five years. Students are very often successful in obtaining further support from competitive fellowships offered by Columbia, as well as from the various national fellowship competitions.
Students intending to study for the doctoral degree should apply directly to the PhD program. (The MA and MPhil degrees are awarded en route.) Ho
