I may not be ready or qualified for the graduate program. How can I improve my background in art history and still study at Columbia?
One way in which prospective graduate students commonly seek to explore art history or improve their background, get to know faculty in this department, and make plans for future study is to enroll as a postgraduate non-degree student in Columbia’s School of Continuing Education and Special Programs. Most undergraduate courses and most graduate lectures in the Department of Art History and Archaeology are open to students in this school. A limited number of graduate courses taken for credit in the School of Continuing Ed may be applicable to a graduate degree in this department.
