Hi all, I've been heavily researching MA and PhD programs in art history, visual culture, as well as women's and gender studies (off-topic but a potential field for me), and I was wondering what anyone thought of Pratt's MS program in Art History. I am especially keen to find out what the funding might be like. I've read that they offer GA positions, but that's all I know thus far... thank u!

Thank you all for your advice! I'll definitely be writing a new paper. I'm actually excited about doing research and writing too, which I'm taking as a sign that I'm making the right choice in going back to school haha. Right now I'm very interested in the history of costume, but also the history of feminist art. My linguistics thesis was on a feminist topic as well, so it's possible that I can somehow incorporate some of the ideas from that research. We shall see. Thank you again!!!

Hi! I'm planning on applying to MA & PhD programs this year but my undergrad degrees are in studio art and linguistics. My only writing sample to offer is my linguistics senior thesis which is probably not really acceptable since it's pretty far from being related to art history. I've taken a number of art history courses but none resulted in any great term papers to consider for writing samples for grad applications. My question is, should I write a new paper (my guess is yes)? If so, how should I go about doing this? I just need some basic advice on what sort of paper (length, format, etc.) I should be going for. Also, might a short linguistics thesis be sufficient either way? Thanks!
