Bachelor of Arts in Art History

Queen's University

An Art History degree at Queen’s offers students an unrivalled opportunity to build visual literacy skills in global arts, architecture, and culture while exploring contemporary and historical problems in the visual art and museum sector from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. With our typically small class sizes, students work closely with internationally recognized experts to develop comprehensive research and analytical skills across a diverse spectrum of topics. The department prioritizes experiential learning-including field trips to museums, hands-on study of art, and the use of analytical equipment to examine art-and we offer several international programs including the Venice Summer School and courses at the Bader International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle in England. Our program provides a highly valued first step towards exciting and rewarding career possibilities in museums, galleries, higher education, the creative industries, cultural policy, and far beyond.
