Overview
York University's PhD in Art History & Visual Culture spans four fields of study: Canadian and Aboriginal Art, Curatorial and Museological Studies, Architectural Studies, and Modern and Contemporary Art. Students may incorporate research on non-Western topics, minority cultural practices, and interdisciplinary issues and approaches. The program prepares candidates for careers in art history and academia, as well as in publishing, curatorial practice, museology and arts administration.
