Graduate Programme in Art History

Welcome

The Graduate Programme in Art History at York is a dynamic, flexible and evolving course of study. Responsive to individual student needs, the programme offers a range of courses, internships, visual resources and faculty interests.

The Graduate Programme in Art History is designed to meet contemporary Canadian needs in the areas of art and architectural history, critical theory and writing, visual culture, and the gallery and museum field. It focuses on the Canadian heritage in the visual arts, which is defined as works of art made by Canadians and works which have been brought to Canada to find a permanent home here. The programme is bilingual in principal.

The M.A. in Art History normally requires two years of full-time study. Part-time students, especially those with experience in the discipline, are encouraged to apply. Where possible, students should be prepared to devote themselves to full-time study at least during their first year in the Graduate Programme.
