A unique dual-discipline master’s program, Crossroads Cohort: Africana Studies at the Intersection of Art History and Practice allows students to pursue an MA in art history and Africana Studies. In addition to being part of the general cohort of art history graduate students, Crossroads students comprise their own subfield cohort, taking dedicated courses together and collaborating to develop—with support of departmental funding—a capstone project such as a small exhibition, symposium, or public engagement program in their final year. Alongside their academic training, Crossroads Cohorts students will acquire professional skills and experience and expand their academic and professional networks through paid summer internships and meaningful activities such as cohort trips to see exhibitions or visit other universities and attending conferences. All Crossroads Cohort students will receive an annual tuition waiver, living stipend, and access to research and travel funding. The program accepts a minimum of three and a maximum of five students every other year.
The M.A in Africana Studies and Art History requires a minimum of 51 credit hours and a cumulative grade point average of 3.000. Details about program requirements can be found in the table below.
