About the topic: Rejected for Art History (PhD), accepted with no funding into MAPH but won an international sponsorship. I also received a very nice personalized e-mail explaining why they wanted me. I have already an MA in Art History and a BA in the Humanities and I am worried about wasting my time and money for an interdisciplinary program in the Humanities with no secure entrance into a PhD or a Museum…I was initially attracted to the program because of its noteworthy coursework and faculty, the chance to develop rigorous intellectual skills , critical thinking, while deciding what to do next..applying for doctoral programs... My dream is to work in a curatorial department (= I must have a PhD) I heard the program has a cash-cow reputation… although the University of Chicago is one of the best in the country for modern and contemporary art…and MAPH seems to offer great opportunities in terms of networking, mentoring,.. I would appreciate any comments or advice …thanks! J @papelpicado thanks for sharing your experience! @creeplin I would go for NYU ...
