Bachelor of Arts in Art History

University of Ottawa

The art history programs provide an excellent foundation in the history of international modern and contemporary art, curatorial and museum studies and their critical and theoretical discourses. Our faculty members emphasize an interdisciplinary approach with perspectives drawn from aesthetics, philosophy, feminism, gender theories, postcolonial theories, theories of identity, globalization and new technologies. You will be actively involved in Ottawa’s vibrant arts community through curatorial projects (on campus and in the city), internships, site visits to national and municipal art galleries and class visits from experienced curators, artists and visiting professors.
