Program details
Overview
This is a Bachelor of Arts in Art History at the University of Calgary, delivered through the Faculty of Arts. The program examines art and architecture across historical, geopolitical and cultural contexts, covering traditional media such as painting, sculpture, architecture and photography alongside newer forms including new technologies, Indigenous media and performance art, as well as feminist and postcolonial approaches to visual culture. Students develop critical analysis, writing and research skills and have the option to combine coursework with related fields such as classics, film, religion or history. A co-operative work placement option and study abroad opportunities are available alongside the standard degree, letting students alternate paid work terms or international study with academic coursework. It suits students interested in visual culture and its historical and social context, preparing graduates for roles in the non-profit sector, public museums and private art galleries, or for further study in graduate programs or professional degrees.

Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
