Certificate in Art History, Criticism, & Theory
To apply for this certificate program, you must be enrolled in a graduate degree program
at TTU.
The Graduate Certificate program in Art History, Criticism, and Theory (GCAHCT) provides
a knowledge base in art history and its affiliated areas of art criticism and art
theory. It comprises a minimum of 15 semester hours of graduate work in art history
and criticism chosen in consultation with the GCAHCT coordinator. The certificate
program is an option for students who are currently enrolled in a graduate program
at Texas Tech University and would like to expand their knowledge in art history.
What is a Graduate Certificate?
The Graduate Certificate program in Art History, Criticism, and Theory (GCAHCT) is intended as a complement to your primary graduate degree. It comprises a set of courses (usually five, 15 credit hours) that provides in-depth knowledge in a specific subject. Certificate courses provide a coherent knowledge base, but at a less advanced level than the set of courses in a graduate academic program such as the MA. The certificate is a means to obtain formalized credit for completion of a body of coursework. A graduate certificate may be preferable to a minor, as while courses completed for a minor within a degree program are credited on the transcript, the name of the minor is not recorded. Those who complete a certificate program receive a certificate of completion, and the transcript records the certificate.
