History and Theory of Art

These programs give you a solid grounding in the history of art and an awareness of
current critical discussions and debates in the field. Courses focus on twentieth-century and contemporary North-American and European art practice and theory. We use an interdisciplinary approach in these programs, making sure to examine topics and themes
from different theoretical points of view or perspectives (historical, post-colonial,
feminist, etc.). As a result, the training you receive paves the way for a career not only
in the arts sector itself, but also in education.
