The Division of Art History offers a wealth of educational opportunities for students outside of the classroom. They include special lectures, symposia, study-abroad programs and the chance to participate in the division's archaeological project in Italy.

Academic Programs
The Division of Art History is joined annually by outstanding visiting faculty through the Eleanor Tufts Distinguished Visiting Professorship and the Haakon Fellowship in Art History; the Art History Lecture Series brings four to six leading scholars annually to the Division. The work of outstanding M.A. students is recognized each year in the Brenda Huber Graduate Symposium in the History of Art.

International Programs
SMU offers students an opportunity to live, study and travel abroad in semester or year-long programs, as well as summer programs. Semester or year-long programs are maintained in Paris, Madrid, Copenhagen, Japan, Britain, Russia and Australia. The University also offers five-week summer terms in Salzburg, Austria; Oxford and London, England; Rome and Tuscany, Italy; the south of France; Xalapa, Mexico; and Moscow.

Archaeological Excavations
Each summer, undergraduate and graduate students are offered the opportunity to participate in Professor Gregory Warden's excavation of an Etruscan settlement in Tuscany. Recent summer work has unearthed amazing new discoveries and artifacts. 

Grants and Fellowships
Haakon Travel Grants are available to graduate students needing to access museums, libraries and archives in pursuing thesis research. The Meadows Graduate Council Fund is also a source of financial support for graduate student projects. Each year up to six graduate students are awarded fellowships that cover tuition and fees and provide an additional stipend of $3500-8500 attached to teaching or research assistantships in art history.
