Thank you for your interest in The University of Arizona School of Art. All submitted applications will be considered after the application deadline has passed.

Application Prerequisites:

Applicants must have a recognized bachelor’s degree, and have a minimum 3.0 grade point average. In addition, applicants should have taken at least four upper division Art History courses (12 units). While students may be admitted without these courses, they will be required to complete any deficiencies before graduate courses count toward the Master’s Degree.

• Transcripts from all previous colleges and universities attended.  For initial evaluation purposes, you may attach scans of official or unofficial transcripts.

If, however, this is not possible, letters can be sent to:
