Art History

Department of Fine Art, College of Arts

The department offers programs that allow for concentrated study in Art History or Studio Art, or for a more balanced study in the two disciplines. Both programs, however, require work in both Studio Art and Art History. Specific requirements are listed below.

First Class Meeting - Special Schedule

Because of the long waiting lists for many courses, students are strongly urged to heed the University regulations regarding First Class Meetings. Refer to Limited Enrolment Courses in Section VIII-Degree Regulations in this calendar.

Student Counselling

The students who elect to take a substantial number of courses in either Art History or Studio Art with the objective of graduate work are advised to obtain counselling from faculty regarding their choices. However, in general, it is important to know that graduate studies in Art History will usually require a reading knowledge of at least 2 languages other than English. German, French, Italian and Latin are among the most useful choices. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the College of Arts (such as History) will almost certainly prove an asset. A Studio career to the graduate level will normally require some training in all the traditional media.
