BA Art History

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Carleton University

Program Overview

Historians of art and architecture study visual communication. At Carleton, we study the great monuments of Western culture painting, sculpture and buildings but we also study Asian and other non-Western art, North American Indigenous art, photography, printmaking and popular culture as well as the institutions of art itself: museums, galleries and exhibitions. The material ranges from the prehistoric to the present day. The students come away from the program with direct experience of collections of art here in the National Capital Region and a historical framework for understanding imagery, as well as an awareness of the multiple possibilities for interpreting art, architecture and other visual phenomena.
