Undergraduate programs - History and theory of art

The Major and the Minor in History and Theory of Art provide students with a solid grounding in the history of art, with a specific focus on contemporary art practices.

The programs provide a solid grounding in the history of art and an awareness of current critical discourse. Course offerings focus particularly on twentieth century and contemporary North-American and European art practice and theory. The programs revolve around an interdisciplinary approach to art production and focus on several theoretical methodologies (historical, post-colonial, feminist, etc.) and on cultural studies. Graduates can look forward to careers not only in the arts sector but also in education.
