Dear brooktrout, Professor Nees has already retired. As fas as I know, Delaware does not fund its MA students.

Dear Vagante, thank you very much, that's incredibly helpful! I am going to apply to Wisconsin, Chicago is not accepting applications this year. I have not looked into Oregon, though. Willams, Tulane, Case and Tufts are on my list, indeed! Fordham is not responsive, unfortunately. What do you think about NYU, Harvard and CUNY?

Dear all, How can international students fund their studies? What options are available? I am talking about MA's. Even if I am granted a stipend it looks like it won't cover my living costs. I can't work (legally) wil a student visa. I know only about loans for international students from companies like MPower etc. Any information will be very much appreciated!?

I do have German and French, I studied them both at university, French being my first language. German is now in a sleeping mode but I can read. As for Latin, I started studying it but dropped. Thank you for your comment, it gives me hope.

By the way, do you happen to know if international students are eligible to any scholarships/stipends etc.? I have not found anything on the websites, will reach out to them.

Yep, it was about Medieval studies

Thank you so much, dear annarchy666! I can see that there are quite a few people in the field but I want to make sure that we would be able to work together. As for East-West, I am definetely in love with the Western European medieval visuals. I guess you have a BA in art history which is not my case (I hold an MA in humanities and did some studies in history and theory of theatre, though unfinished). I think application committees will think that I am crazy but I want to give it a try.

Yes, exactly, that's what the profs told me! Plus Fordham.

Dear raye237, I am definetely looking for advisors, many thanks for mentioning BU, will look closer into it!

Dear all, recommendations needed! I was thinking of applying for a PhD programme, my area of interest is the Middle Ages and medieval art. I was, however, discouraged by some professors to do so since, according to them, I am unlikely to be successfull in later rounds due to lack of an MA in the field. They advised me to get an MA first (citing Williams, Fordham, and Tufts as top choices for an MA). The problem with an MA is money, as usual. So, to make my chances less slim, I am now considering applying both for PhD and MA and would be very grateful for any recommendations regarding professors and programmes (who is known is a superstar and a very nice person) :)) ? Yale and UChicago have cancelled admissions, and I can't go to the Courtauld for an MA - was accepted two years ago, failed to find funding.
