Documentation Required:

• To support your application, you must upload one unofficial academic transcript from each post-secondary institution attended.

Once the application is processed, the referee will receive a request via e-mail to complete an electronic recommendation form on the applicant's behalf. A link to the form will be included in the e-mail. The referee will receive a reminder in two weeks if the recommendation is not received. The applicant will receive an e-mail when Western receives the referee's letter of recommendation.

• One sample of written work at least 1000 words, normally an essay in art history.

•  A well considered statement of intent regarding the applicant's work in art history. The statement of intent should outline your background preparation for graduate level work and indicate your field of interest in art history.
