The Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Art History focuses on North American and European art, craft, design, film, and architectural history from the 19th to 21st centuries. An Indigenous Studies minor and other core courses offer opportunities to explore earlier artistic periods and global cultural expressions. Students engage deeply with art, craft, and design histories while developing analytical skills through art theory and social studies courses. The program includes critical studies options covering material culture, environmental themes, gender theory, and community-based art. Students may also participate in studio courses within a vibrant creative environment.
