Degrees and Specializations Offered

The department of History in Art offers programs of graduate study leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. The program for each student is determined by the graduate adviser and the appropriate supervisor in consultation with the student, and is intended to meet the student’s specific academic needs while at the same time maintaining some breadth of exposure to a wide range of topics and methodologies.

The department also participates in the Co-operative Education Program; students who are interested in the possibility of gaining discipline-related work experience while they pursue their degree are invited to contact the department’s graduate adviser.

Several teaching or research assistantships may also be available, usually ranging from $2,700 to $7,000 for eight months’ work. Teaching and research assistants are eligible for additional top-up funding from the Faculty of Graduate Studies in the form of Academic Income Supplements. There are also several awards that provide small numbers of exceptional or financially needy students with additional funds.
