Program details
Overview
The Major in Art History is a 42-unit undergraduate concentration providing foundational knowledge of international modern and contemporary art, curatorial studies, and museum studies. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on aesthetics and philosophy as well as theories of feminism and gender, post-colonialism, identity, globalization, and new technologies. Students engage in practical, hands-on learning through curatorial projects, gallery visits, and internships with arts organizations in Ottawa. Foundational survey courses are normally taken in the first year so students remain on track to graduate on time. The major cannot be combined with the Bachelor of Fine Arts or with the Major in Visual Arts, and provides a direct pathway into the university's MA in History of Art. It is otherwise combined with another major or a minor to complete the Bachelor's degree, and is offered in English and in French with a French Immersion Stream available.
