Program details

Overview

This 30-credit certificate provides general training in art history, offered full-time or part-time at the Montreal campus with fall and winter admission. Eight mandatory courses (24 credits) are chosen from offerings on medieval and Renaissance art, modern architecture, contemporary art, and Indigenous artistic expression, complemented by two optional courses (6 credits) in museology and curatorial studies. Students develop a critical perspective on art from different cultures and periods, building theoretical, historical, and aesthetic knowledge alongside research and visual-analysis skills applicable to galleries, museums, heritage organizations, and cultural institutions. The certificate can be combined with others through a cumulative programme leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree, or taken as a stand-alone credential by students with a general interest in the field.

Admission Requirements: Direct entry is via an appropriate DEC or equivalent diploma. Applicants without a DEC may qualify at age 21 or older, or with a diploma from outside Quebec after at least 13 years of schooling. Those with prior university study need at least three completed university courses (9 credits) at the time of application. All candidates must demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of written and spoken French. Admission is offered in the fall and winter trimesters.
