PhD Requirements: Entering with a Masters

The Graduate School permits the transfer of a maximum of twenty-four credits from other institutions toward the Ph.D., all of which must be in art history and at the graduate level, with a grade of B or better. After having completed four courses (12 credits) in the Graduate Program of Art History at Rutgers, students should submit an official transcript, in addition to a description of the content and requirements of these courses to the faculty for its approval.
