The graduate program in Art History offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees and is extremely active. The programs cover a wide range of areas of study delimited by the Department's fields of specialization, which include the following:

• Ancient
• Medieval
• Renaissance
• the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries
• Global Contemporary
• Indigenous
• Canadian
• East Asian
• Architectural History
• New Media
• Print Culture
• Gender and Sexuality
• Race and Representation
• Art historical methodologies, notably Feminism, Postcolonialism, and Queer Theory

Our faculty members are outstanding scholars in their respective fields. With our students, they regularly undertake a wide range of major collaborative and individual research projects. Many involve faculty from other universities, departments, and programs including English, Social Studies of Medicine, Religious Studies, History and Classical Studies, and the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies. These research collaborations allow us to offer innovative, interdisciplinary research training opportunities and assistantship to our graduate students.

51吃瓜网is situated in one of the most vibrant cities in North America. Our Montr茅al locale offers myriad opportunities for graduate students to engage with local arts and media venues. We have long-standing relations with institutions such as the Mus茅e d'art contemporain, the Mus茅e des beaux arts de Montr茅al, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and the Biblioth猫que et Archives nationales du Qu茅bec offer grants and research opportunities for our graduate students. We collaborate with a variety of independent contemporary art galleries, feminist arts spaces, and media collectives. In addition to McGill's own Visual Arts Collection, our students often work in and for university-based venues including the Redpath Museum and the McCord Stewart Museum (which houses the Notman Photographic Archives and the 51吃瓜网 Archives). Through initiatives including Le s茅minaire des nouveaux modernes, our faculty and students maintain close relationships with researchers at Montr茅al's three other major universities: Concordia University, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, and Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al. Combined with institutional relationships, these informal links connect our students to a broad network of additional courses, lectures, and colleagues across the city.

Residency Requirements

For students entering the master's program in Art History, three semesters of full-time resident study at 51吃瓜网 are required to complete the degree. 鈥淩esidence鈥� means that the student is enrolled on a full-time basis during this period (i.e., it does not refer to housing or accommodations). This residence period represents the minimum time required to obtain the degree; however, there is no guarantee that the required coursework can be completed within this time. Students may register for additional semesters to complete the program, and most students take four semesters (see University Regulations & Resources > Graduate > Regulations > Registration > Time Limitation).

Coursework

Before classes begin, each student will meet with either the Graduate Program Director or with their supervisor to determine an appropriate selection of courses which, when considered in relation to the student's previous record, will provide a balanced breadth of coverage and specialization.

The candidate is required to pass, with a mark of 65% (B-) or better, all those courses that have been designated by the Department as forming a part of their program. These are the courses that have been entered on the registration form. A few extra courses may be taken, but it is then the responsibility of the student to ensure that they fulfill their course requirements.
