Qualifying Paper for the MA
Completion of the MA
Upon the completion of the MA or starting with a MA from another institution, the student begins the PhD program having chosen a major field of study within art history, often known at the time of application. By the end of the second quarter of residence at the PhD stage, the student also selects a minor field, which may be outside the department (e.g. Architecture, History, Anthropology, Comparative Literature, Archaeology, etc.). The major and minor advisors are responsible for the student’s course of study and completion of requirements within the selected field. Graduate Review Committee must approve any change of advisor(s) or the major and minor fields.

Dissertation Prospectus and Oral Qualifying Examination
Dissertation and Final Oral Examination (if required)
The completion of the PhD requires reading knowledge of a minimum of two foreign languages relevant to the student’s field of study (more than two may be required in some cases and must be determined in consultation with the faculty advisor). Applicants are expected to already possess reading proficiency in at least one of the two languages for which they will be responsible. New students shall sit for at least one language exam upon arrival at UCLA.
Students at the MA stage are expected to satisfy their first foreign language requirement by the end of the 3rd quarter in residence. It is highly recommended that they complete the second language requirement by the end of the 6th quarter in residence.
Students at the PhD stage are expected to satisfy their second foreign language requirement by the end of the 1st quarter and any additional languages by the end of the 3rd quarter in residence (or in consultation with the major advisor).
Fulfilling the Language Requirement
Option 1: Pass the Departmental Foreign Language Exam.
The language exam consists of translation of a text of 300-700 words chosen by the examiner to be translated into English in three hours (use of a non-electronic dictionary is allowed). Specific qualities of the language and expected level of proficiency in the field will impact the choice and length of the selected text. The Department expects accurate rendition in English rather than a strict translation, word for word, and values the quality of the translation over the completion of the exam.
Language exams are scheduled four times a year, approximately three weeks prior to finals week during the regular academic quarters. Entering students must sit for the first language exam in the first week of the fall quarter. Exam results will be sent out by email within three weeks of the exam date. If feedback on the exam is desired after the results have been announced, students are welcome to contact the examiner. If a student fails the exam and wants to appeal, he or she should contact the Chair of the Language Committee or Director of Graduate Studies.
Option 2: Complete UCLA courses French 6, German 6, Italian 6, Spanish 25, or other relevant language classes with a minimum grade of “B”.
The following is a general guideline for language requirements in relation to specific fields of study. The final selection and number of languages is to be determined in consultation with the primary advisor.

Ph.D. Programs Dual Degree Programs
Computational biology and bioinformatics (CB&B) is a rapidly developing multidisciplinary field. The systematic acquisition of data made possible by genomics and proteomics technologies has created a tremendous gap between available data and their biological interpretation. Given the rate of data generation, it is well recognized that this gap will not be closed with direct individual experimentation. Computational and theoretical approaches to understanding biological systems provide an essential vehicle to help close this gap. These activities include computational modeling of biological processes, computational management of large-scale projects, database development and data mining, algorithm development, and high-performance computing, as well as statistical and mathematical analyses.

Accreditation:
Ball state university.
School Highlights: One of the many reasons that make Ball State University’s Doctor of Arts in Music is the concentration option that allows students to personalize their approach in an area outside of music. This curriculum has an overall design that gives students (who choose primary and secondary fields of study) as much education and flexibility as possible.
The primary areas of study include:
The secondary field of study may be chosen from programs in the School of Music or from other departments at Ball State. The choices for the secondary areas of study include:
The degree requires an internship, an externship, a dissertation, a comprehensive examination, an oral examination, and teaching pedagogies. The dissertation must be an original work that can be an analytical study, a project with performance or pedagogical elements, or a substantial annotated catalog. Learners may also submit an original piece of music that meets the standards of the university.
Ball State is hugely supportive of all students. For example, the school supplies a huge amount of financial aid opportunities to all Doctor of Arts students, such as the 500 scholarships available to incoming students.
BSU maintains partnerships with 329 employers that are an outstanding resource for students and alumni alike, giving them an excellent standing outside the doctorate.
Learners must meet high expectations since the program enables them to become triple threats – teachers, performers, and scholars. Their elite training takes place in the School of Music’s state-of-the-art recital halls as well as its spacious recording studio space, rehearsal spaces, and teaching studios.
Students are required to register for the regular and summer terms to complete the degree requirements on time. The maximum allowed number of credits for the regular semester is 15 credits and six credits for the summer term. However, the actual number can vary depending on whether a student is a graduate assistant or not – a graduate assistant must register for six credits per semester.
Auditions are conducted for applicants to the performance and conducting programs. Specific audition requirements including video/audio recorded auditions and musical instruments are implemented. Placement tests for applicants to the music history and music theory programs are also required.
Concentration Options:
Campus Location: Muncie, IN
George mason university.
School Highlights: This Doctor of Arts program from George Mason University provides a major in Educational Leadership with an optional concentration in Higher Education. GMU is one of only twenty universities in the nation to offer a degree of this kind.
Candidates must earn 60 credits beyond the master’s degree to earn the doctorate degree. The curriculum is divided into several areas including the 21-credit knowledge area with research design included.
The 18-credit education coursework enables candidates to learn advanced education methodologies and skills in educational leadership. The Community College, College Teaching, and Technology in Higher Education are among the required courses.
The 3-credit research methods and design course prepares candidates for the rigors of the 12-credit dissertation phase. The 6-credit internship experience exposes candidates to the realities of educational leadership at the elite level. There are consortium courses that must be taken at the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Students can choose from numerous options to create a degree that meets their individual career goals. This educational institution allows students to transfer up to 12 credits from another accredited university or from GMU’s Extended Studies program. All of these facets are excellent indicators of the phenomenal quality of this school and doctoral program.
Note that this is an interdisciplinary program where about 20 knowledge areas within the university participate. Candidates are strongly encouraged to become interdisciplinary thinkers including registering for several courses in a multitude of disciplines.
The colleges that participate in the D.A. in Educational Leadership include the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Science, College of Education and Human Development, and School of Management.
Applicants to the prestigious program must complete the following requirements:
If you’re claiming the Virginia in-state tuition rates, you must also submit a completed application pertaining thereto.
GMU also offers a D.A. in Community College Education that prepares candidates for college-level teaching. The curriculum emphasizes higher education pedagogy through coursework that reflects the candidate’s chosen knowledge area. Again, interdisciplinary thinking is strongly encouraged with several colleges and their disciplines to choose from.
Candidates train in four areas of expertise in higher education pedagogy – effective technology integration in the teaching and learning processes; scholarship of teaching and learning; design of programs and curricula including development and evaluation; and active pedagogy. Graduates become respected experts in community colleges and other post-secondary institutions.
Campus Location: Fairfax, VA
Idaho state university.
School Highlights: Idaho State University’s Doctor of Arts in Biology was designed and implemented due to an overwhelming desire for a biological sciences degree that is geared toward undergraduate teaching at the college and university level. The curriculum provides an incredibly broad approach to this area of study and heavily emphasizes methods of instruction in biology.
Candidates must be proficient in graduate-level research methodologies and techniques. In this manner, both PhD and D.A. candidates share similar research skill sets but apply them with a different mindset. D.A. candidates use their research skills to improve their teaching skills, particularly the content, method, and delivery of their respective curricula.
Note, however, that the D.A. degree is different from the EdD degree – the former emphasizes teaching methodologies and the interdisciplinary relationships between teaching content. As such, the D.A. degree is suitable for professionals who want to teach in post-secondary educational institutions.
It is a four-year program but allows enough flexibility for some students to complete their studies in as little as two to three years but said time-to-completion is predicated on full-time study and determination. Most students complete the degree requirements in four years – and even then, the time-to-completion may be extended for other reasons.
There are eight outstanding Doctor of Arts fellowship opportunities at Idaho State, and the entire program is funded by support from the first D.A. degree established at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1967. These fellowships are competitive and can be renewed based on satisfactory progress on an annual basis for four years. Fellows receive $12,164 every year and don’t have teaching requirements.
Applicants must have completed a master’s degree that included an independent thesis project in biological research. Other requirements are a minimum of 3.0 GPA for the last two years of undergraduate work and GRE scores in the 35th percentile (minimum) on the quantitative and verbal sections. Admission is obviously on a selective basis.
Campus Location: Pocatello, ID

What is a doctor of arts degree.
Often considered a pragmatic approach to a doctorate, a doctor of arts degree is the best step for someone who wishes to concentrate and master a particular field of study but with an emphasis on teaching it. It is an academic degree of the highest level. A Doctor of Arts degree is also conferred as an honorary degree with the added designation of honoris causa.
Unlike a traditional Ph.D., it requires less research. Instead, most D.A. degrees revolve around teaching internships, teaching methods, and curriculum design coursework. It is instrumental in equipping scholars with the necessary breadth and diversity to become teachers in their chosen fields.
But while it is usually described as a “teaching doctorate,” a D.A. degree is not the same as a Doctor of Education degree which is more concerned with issues in education and a theoretical and practical preparation in pedagogy.
Most Doctors of Arts degree programs include a concentration in music, history, or literature. There are also D.A. degree programs that focus on political science, mathematics, economics, biology English, chemistry, and physical education.
In general, Doctor of Arts programs provide extensive training in pedagogy, with the goal of demonstrating a variety of pedagogical techniques and skills. Doctor of Arts students are also expected to craft a distinct teaching philosophy.
Aspiring Doctor of Arts students must file an application to the graduate school of their choice where the said degree program is offered. Most D.A. degree programs require applicants to acquire a master’s degree from an accredited college or university. Some stipulate a specific cumulative GPA, usually of 3.00 or better. Application forms are generally available online. Students may be asked to give a non-refundable application fee.
Some of the additional requirements include an official transcript of records from universities or colleges where they earned their bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
In specific fields like music, performance, and auditions are required. Schools often have a list of accepted instruments for an audition so checking their websites can make your application for admission easier.
Once admitted, students are taught and trained in several areas including college-level teaching, research, and the specific field of their study. Aside from the coursework, students need to complete a thesis (usually around 50,000-80,000 words). Generally, the thesis for Doctor of Arts candidates is focused on questions of professional practice. For example, a D.A. in social sciences degree program tackles policy analysis and advice.
A thesis requirement can be replaced by a significant creative project. It can be a novel, biography, memoir, poetic work, play, or video work.
The short answer is yes. This degree is especially valuable if you want to be prepared for faculty positions within higher education. It makes a strong impression on hiring committees. A D.A. degree provides hands-on experience as a college teacher, preparing students to acquire a well-rounded set of professional skills.
The most common career path for Doctor of Arts degree programs is in the academe. Holding a teaching position in colleges and universities is made easier with acquired teaching skills in a particular field that few faculty candidates possess. D.A. degree holders can also work in industries that require research and writing skills in one specific area of study. They can become scholars in their fields.
D.A. programs prepare graduates for their essential role in developing and enhancing departmental programs that help mentor students and faculty when it comes to disciplinary teaching and learning. D.A. graduates take up faculty and leadership positions in higher education, filling a niche that Ph.D. graduates cannot fulfill.
Doctor of Arts degree holders who enter the world of academia usually receive an average salary of $34,000 to $70,000 a year, excluding bonuses. Their pay can vary depending on the institution where they teach, whether it is in public or private colleges and universities. Their salary can also depend on their area of expertise. Music teachers can earn as much as $93,440 per year .
Other faculty positions that D.A. degree holders can explore include curriculum advisor and curriculum developer. These positions require specialized knowledge of their particular field of study with a median salary of $60,510.
Numerous colleges and universities are offering the Doctor of Arts program on-campus. It includes the University of Northern Colorado , Ball State University in Indiana, George Mason University in Virginia, and Idaho State University . In Pennsylvania, Holy State University offers the program online.
When seeking to advance your career and expertise in higher education, earning a Doctor of Arts degree is something you will not regret. It will not only ensure your competitiveness when it comes to employment, but this degree program will also help shape you into a scholar of your chosen field, deepening and expanding your knowledge and skills in a particular area of study with the aim of applying it in pedagogy.
A Doctor of Arts degree is an interdisciplinary degree that can be quite versatile. The specific program will depend on the institution, but some common curricula can include courses in professional writing, research and communication, intercultural studies, digital media, creative writing, and literature. With the potential to specialize in a variety of topics, professionals with a Doctor of Arts degree may be able to pursue a range of careers in academia, media, business, policy-making, and more.

Election predictor says Democrats' prospects would worsen if incumbent stepped aside
President Joe Biden’s performance during the June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump inspired panic among some supporters . In its wake, some have called for Biden to bow out of the 2024 election in favor either of Vice President Kamala Harris or a range of the party’s rising stars including swing-state governors Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
Not so fast says American University Professor Allan Lichtman , PhD ’73. Lichtman, who has correctly predicted the results of 9 of the last 10 presidential elections using a system he developed in 1981 with mathematician Vladimir Keilis-Borok, says that Democrats’ prospects for victory in November would be far worse if Biden stepped aside. In this conversation with Havard Griffin GSAS Communications, he asserts that it would be a “huge mistake” to forfeit the electoral advantages of incumbency and of having a candidate who has had no serious challenges from within his own party.
This interview has been edited for clarity, correctness, and length.
Sure I have some concerns, but not about his ability to campaign effectively. He had some excellent, energetic events after the debate. He delivered one of the great State of the Union addresses just a few months ago when he was able to ad-lib and respond to the audience. It was a bravura performance.
Look, I'm not a neurologist—and neither are the critics going after Joe Biden. They have no basis to offer an opinion on Biden’s cognitive capacities. Beyond that, what all these folks share in common is that none of them have a track record in predicting elections, and yet they claim to know what the Democrats must do to win.
Let me read you a couple of headlines: “Debate Debacle,” “Great Concern at Democratic Headquarters.” Those aren’t headlines from after last Thursday’s debate; those are from after Barack Obama’s performance in the first presidential debate of 2012. Afterward, a CNN poll showed that 72 percent of viewers thought Obama lost, which was worse than the 67 percent who thought Biden lost last Thursday. And, of course, Obama went on to win an electoral college landslide, 332 to 206. On the other hand, when Hillary Clinton won all three debates in 2016—and then again after the Access Hollywood tape—the pundits said Trump was finished. Now they’re telling us Biden’s finished after one debate. It's nonsense.
How many times in the last 120 years has the party holding the White House prevailed in the elections where the incumbent didn’t run? Never. —Allan Lichtman
The keys gauge the strength and performance of the White House party. That is, they're premised on the finding that American presidential elections are votes up or down on the strength and performance of the party in power.
Biden checks off two keys; obviously, he’s an incumbent and his path to the nomination was uncontested. That means that 6 of the remaining 11 keys would have to be negative in order to predict the Democrats’ defeat. If Biden gets bumped, the Democrats lose the incumbency key and the party contest key because there's no heir apparent. That means only four more keys would have to be unfavorable.
But let's leave aside the keys and look at history. How many times in the last 120 years has the party holding the White House prevailed in the elections where the incumbent didn’t run as in 1920, 1952, 1968, 2008, or 2016? Never. It’s a sure prescription for defeat. In effect, those calling for Biden to step aside want to recreate the same set of circumstances that led to defeat in 2016.
Polls are snapshots, not predictors. Remember, the pollsters assured us Hillary Clinton was bound to win in 2016. In fact, the Princeton Election Consortium said there was a 99 percent chance that Clinton would win. The eminent professor, Sam Wang, said, “If I'm wrong I'll eat a bug on national TV.” And he did . The last Gallup poll showed Romney beating Obama in 2012. So, I don't use the polls for prediction.
This is a particularly fluid election. We have the debate. We're going to have the sentencing of Donald Trump on July 11. We may have a mini-trial on his immunity claim in New York. We have two conventions coming up. So, even if you believe the polls, it's way too early.
I’m a historian not a psychic. It's always possible, in any given year, that events could be so different that they break the pattern of history. But the keys are very robust. Developmentally they go back to 1860—the horse and buggy days when Abe Lincoln was elected. Predictively, they go back to 1984 when Ronald Reagan was elected to a second term.
What I think you're putting your finger on outside the context of the keys is a horrendous message deficit on the part of the Democrats. That was partly what we saw in the debate. It wasn't just Biden not being a great debater. It was that whoever prepared him didn't create a good message. And that's why there's this disconnect between the reality of the economy and a lot of perceptions. I've been screaming about the Democratic deficit in messaging for years. They don't seem to hear it.
