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;
• Contemporary;
• Canadian;
• East Asian;
• Architectural History;
• New Media;
• Print Culture;
• Gender and Sexuality;
• Race and Representation;
• Art historical methodologies, notably Feminism, Postcolonialism, and Queer Theory.

All of our faculty members are outstanding scholars in their respective fields and are involved in a wide range of major collaborative and individual research projects, many involving faculty from other universities, departments, and programs (such as Communication Studies, English and Literary Studies, Histories of Science and Medicine, Religious Studies, Classics, History, and Women鈥檚 Studies). These research projects allow us to offer relevant research training opportunities and assistantships to our graduate students.

McGill is situated in one of the most vibrant cities in North America, and Montreal offers myriad opportunities for graduate students to engage with local arts institutions, either officially, through internships and research fellowships, or unofficially, through volunteering. Local institutions range from large-scale public museums (such as the Mus茅e d'art contemporain, the Mus茅e des beaux arts, and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa) to smaller alternative galleries (such as feminist arts spaces La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse and Studio XX). There are also university-based venues such as the Redpath Museum on campus and the McCord Museum of Canadian History (which houses the 香蕉视频 Archives), and independent contemporary art galleries such as DHC and the Darling Foundry. The Canadian Centre for Architecture, with its archives and exhibitions, and the Biblioth猫que et Archives nationales du Qu茅bec also offer grants and research opportunities for local graduate students. A close relationship with the other three major universities in Montreal (Concordia University, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, and Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al) affords students access 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 香蕉视频 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). A typical timeline and further details regarding completing the M.A. may be found at www.mcgill.ca/ahcs/graduate/ahgradprograms/ma.

Coursework

Before classes begin, each student will meet with either the Graduate Program Director or with his/her 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 his/her 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 see that these courses are clearly marked 鈥渘ot required鈥� on the registration form.
