Queen’s offers a two-year Master’s degree in Art History with options to write a major research essay, a thesis, or carry out a project-based MA (such as curating an exhibition or creating a digital humanities project). In addition to the possibility of taking advanced seminars in a small classroom setting exploring art and craft history, cultural heritage, curatorial studies, and technical examination, students may choose to carry out internships in Kingston or around the world to gain practical experience across a range of different cultural institutions. Graduate students in art history may also take classes in art conservation. You will find a collegial, supportive atmosphere in our community of scholars, artists, and arts specialists as you build the necessary skills to succeed in your career. We offer our MA students two years of funding. Please see the links below for further information about the program and the application process.
*Program update: There is no language requirement for the MA in Art History at Queen's.
The application deadline is January 10, and notification of admission is by mid-March. For more information about the application process, you may also visit the School of Graduate Studies website.
