Must I have majored in art history in order to apply for graduate studies in history of art at Berkeley? Can someone look over my transcripts to see whether I am competitive for admission?
Most students admitted to the graduate program already have a B.A. or an M.A. in the history of art, but we welcome applications from students who have majored in other disciplines. We have admitted students over the years from majors such as American Studies, Sociology, Comparative Literature, Medieval Studies, East Asian Studies, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Studio Art and other majors. The most qualified non-Art History majors are those who have taken upper division art history courses in their area of declared interest, and who have conducted research and writing in that field of interest.
