Program details
Overview
The Major in Visual Arts is an undergraduate concentration within a Bachelor's degree at the University of Ottawa, delivered by the Department of Visual Arts. The program offers the same range of practical and theoretical course experiences as the university's Bachelor of Fine Arts but allows a greater number of electives, making it suitable preparation for careers such as fine arts education, arts administration, artist representation, conservation or curation. Compulsory coursework includes introductory painting and sculpture studios, a course in modern art history, a digital photography workshop and a capstone course in professional practices in art, alongside elective studio and art-history courses chosen across several thematic areas. The major can be combined with a minor or a second major, except the Major or Minor in Art History, and can lead to the university's Master of Fine Arts program. Students complete 42 units of coursework in the discipline in addition to general Bachelor's degree requirements. The program is offered in both English and French.
