Hi All !! I have received MA offers from UT Austin and NYU IFA. I hold a BA in History and aiming to pursue a PhD in the states after my MA. My field is modern/ contemporary Europe and America but I’m open to other areas and periods. I hope I could get some advices and more information about the MAs in the U.S., Thank you in advance : D For UT, I got a small of scholarship and also an out-of-state tuition waiver, making it affordable for me. Basically, I’ve decided to turn down my IFA offer, and accept the UT’s. But I would like to gather more information about UT’s MA before clicking the accept bottom. My questions are little silly: Which program has a better PhD placement? What are the strengths and famous fields of UT program? How does the department treat MA student at UT, like resources, TA assistantships, etc? I know more about IFA and do concern about the cash cow situation since people have more discussions on it. Also, I looked up some PhD students profiles and only found seldom UT alumni, I’m just wondering if most of the UT’s MA graduates pursue PhD or work in the museum or gallery? I’m quite anxious about my life in grad school. Are there any dos and don’ts during my MA years? What shall I do to well-prepare myself for a good PhD?

Hi, I need some advices for school decision. I got admission of MA Art History from UT Austin and NYU IFA. Both without funding unfortunately My field is in modern and contemporary art. I did some researches of the study experience at NYU IFA, but I don’t know much about UT Austin’s MA program. I’m an international student and aiming at applying PhD after my master program, could anyone give me some advices? Thx in advance.

Hi, I updated the result of NYU. My friend haven’t heard back as well, so I guess that’s only the first RD. No worries and good luck. BTW, anyone heard anything from UPenn? I saw some updates from another forum yesterday.
