Art History B.A. & M.A. Five-Year
Combined Degree Program
The Art History B.A. and M.A. Combined Degree Program admits qualified applicants who are enrolled as Art History majors at Binghamton University and wish to complete a B.A. with an Art History major in Track A: Art History concentration or in Track B: Architectural and Urban History concentration, but not Track C: Pre-Architecture, and an M.A. in Art History in five years. The program restricts admissions to students with exceptional academic records and demonstrated potential for graduate work.
Prospective students should begin the application process early in the junior year by applying to the combined degree program at the level of the art history department. Applicants will fill out an internal form generated by the art history department and submit an official transcript, the names of two professors who have agreed to serve as references, a statement of intent and a writing sample. Qualified students will be conditionally admitted into the combined degree program and allowed to enroll in 500-level courses that may be double-counted to fulfill requirements for both the B.A. and the M.A. During the first semester of senior year, combined degree students must apply for formal admission to the graduate school. The combined degree student is granted M.A. student status only after all requirements for the B.A. degree are completed satisfactorily, with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for graduate coursework. Combined Degree students may not select the Senior Honors Thesis option (ARTH 498-499).
