Honours Bachelor of Arts in Art History - Mississauga

Art History offers students an exciting forum for developing critical skills in interpreting visual imagery and understanding the significance of art in a variety of cultures and historical periods, including the contemporary moment. Courses span the history of art from the ancient to the contemporary worlds, and investigate art from Europe, North and South America, and Asia. The Art History programs (Specialist, Major, Minor) train students in foundational methods of interpretation as well as the newest approaches in the field.
Specialization in this program may lead to curatorial work in galleries, museums, or corporations, careers in illustration, advertising, web design, film, and graphic design, journalism, teaching at the high school or university level following graduate study, independent artistic activities, or simply to deeper engagement with, and enjoyment of, art.
Students registering in their first year in Art History are encouraged to contact the undergraduate counsellor during the registration period for guidance. CCIT students considering double-majoring in an art program should also meet the undergraduate counsellor to discuss their studies.
