Overview

The Department of Art draws upon the strengths of multiple artistic and aesthetic disciplines, newer media, and information technology to provide superior instruction in the visual and media arts. The department seeks to foster and maintain an intellectual and physical environment that encourages and supports research, scholarship, artistic expression, and creative production.

The Department of Art offers programs of study leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Teaching, Interdisciplinary Master of Arts, and Master of Fine Arts. The department is divided into four areas: art education, art history, studio art, and media arts. These areas offer seven separate programs of study leading to advanced graduate degrees.

1. Art education offers three degrees: The M.A. in Art Education, the I.M.A. in Art Education, and the M.A.T. in Art Education degrees.
2. Art history offers the M.A. degree.
3. Studio art offers the M.A. and M.F.A. degrees, with specializations in drawing, ceramics, painting, photography, sculpture (3-D studies), and printmaking*.
4. Media arts offers the M.A. degree.

*M.A. pending S.C. Commission on Higher Education approval.

Requirements

Residence and other basic requirements for degrees in art are those established by The Graduate School. Special degree requirements established by the Department of Art are described below. Additional information may be obtained from the director of graduate studies in the Department of Art.

Master of Arts (M.A.)

The Master of Arts degree may be taken with majors in art history, studio art, media arts, applied art history, or art education. The candidate must complete a 30-hour program with a minimum of 15 hours in the area of emphasis. A comprehensive examination is required of all M.A. candidates. A thesis (or an approved museum project--applied art history only) is also required, for which the candidate may receive up to 6 hours of credit. The thesis course, ART_ 799, cannot be included in the 15-hour minimum requirement in the area of emphasis. At least half of all course work (exclusive of thesis) being applied to the degree must be at the 700 level.

Master of Arts in Art History and Applied Art History

Two majors are available: the traditional master of arts degree with a major in art history and the master of arts degree with a major in applied art history (not currently accepting applications). All students accepted into the program are expected to take the M.A. proficiency examination in the history of art during the first semester of their residence. The examination consists of the identification and discussion of certain major movements from Western art history beginning with Greek art. Before the end of the second semester of study each student is expected to select an area of concentration. All art history majors are required to pass a reading proficiency test in a foreign language: German, French, Spanish, Italian, or by permission of the area, some other language.

The M.A. degree program in art history allows the graduate student an opportunity to concentrate the program of study in any of six core areas:

• Renaissance art and architecture
  
• Baroque (including the 18th century) art and architecture
  
• 19th-century European art and architecture
  
• 20th-century European art and architecture
  
• American art and architecture
  
• Film and photographic history.

Students are advised to take at least one course in five of the six areas and are required to take one course from four of the six areas. A minimum of two additional courses must be taken from one of the core areas to constitute an area of concentration.

The M.A. degree program in applied art history stresses the applicability of art history to contemporary museum problems and potential careers. The program is jointly offered by the departments of art, anthropology, and history; the School of Library and Information Science; and the Museum Management Program.

Master of Arts in Art Education

The Master of Arts in Art Education consists of 30 hours of graduate credit, including a thesis. Programs of study must include a minimum of 15 hours of graduate-level course work in art education. A minimum of 9 hours of electives may be taken in art education, studio art, art history, or other disciplines. A comprehensive exam and a defense of one's thesis are also required.

Master of Arts in Studio Art

The Master of Arts in Studio Art consists of 30 hours of graduate credit, including a thesis. Programs of study must include a minimum of 15 hours of graduate-level course work in art studio. A minimum of 9 hours of electives may be taken in art education, studio art, art history, or other disciplines. A comprehensive exam and a defense of one's thesis are also required.

Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in Art Education

Eligibility for admission is limited to those persons seeking initial certification. The M.A.T. requires 30 semester hours of graduate-level course work, 6 to 15 credits in professional education, and 15 to 24 credits in the teaching content area. Additionally, candidates must complete minimum South Carolina certification requirements for a Class I professional certification in the teaching content area and in professional education. Thus, candidates must complete additional deficiencies in course work in professional education and/or their teaching content area at the undergraduate and graduate levels as necessary. They must also pass a written comprehensive examination.

Interdisciplinary Master of Arts (I.M.A.) in Art Education

The Interdisciplinary Master of Arts is designed for college graduates who already hold a professional certificate in art or who are academically certifiable by virtue of course work previously earned. Upon completion of the I.M.A. degree program, recipients will be eligible for a South Carolina Class I certificate in art. Major emphasis in this program is placed on course work in the teaching area. The I.M.A. degree requires 33 hours of graduate-level course work with 9 credits in professional education, 21 credits in art and art education, and 3 credits in an elective course that addresses current issues and concerns of teachers. Candidates must also pass a written comprehensive examination.

Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Studio Arts

The University of South Carolina offers the M.F.A. degree program with a major in studio arts. Within the major, studies specialize in drawing, ceramics, painting, photography, sculpture (3-D studies), and printmaking*. The M.F.A. degree provides the opportunity for professional growth and mastery of skills in the selected major and minor areas of concentration in studio art. Completion of the degree primarily affirms a candidate's mastery in studio production. Also, through competitively assigned assistantships, opportunities are provided for candidates to develop professional competency in the teaching of studio art. The M.F.A. degree requires a minimum of 60 hours of graduate level course credit and a combined undergraduate and graduate total of 124 credit hours in art. The M.F.A. program itself consists of 60 credit hours: 33 hours of art studio; 12 hours from a group that comprises art history, theory, criticism, and art education; 6 to 9 hours of a creative terminal project, including a written proposal and project documentation; and 6 to 9 hours of electives. An oral defense of the project is also required.

*M.A. pending S.C. Commission on Higher Education approval.
