The discipline of Art History offers a wide range of courses, primarily in the history of Western art. Consequently, B.A. (Honours) and B.A. programs in Art History are flexible, and within the context of these degree programs students are encouraged to take courses in other departments and disciplines of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences such as Classics, Film Studies, History, Languages and Literatures, Music, Philosophy and Religion, as well as in the Faculties of Science and Public Affairs and Management.
Within the requirements for B.A. (Honours) and B.A. degrees, students are expected to take courses in the areas that form the undergraduate curriculum: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo, Romantic, Modern, Contemporary, North American and Native Art. Courses in the theory of art and in art criticism are offered as adjuncts to those in art history.
A special feature of the Carleton program is an undergraduate practicum, in
which degree students in their Third- or Fourth-year may receive up to 1.0 credit
in Art History for supervised practical experience, working on specific projects
in an Ottawa museum or
related setting, or on an archaeological site: for example, The National Archives
of Canada, The Canadian Museum of Civilization, The National Gallery of Canada.
Courses in the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Science and Public Affairs and Management provide options that complement art history and support certain specializations or career plans in art history. For example, courses in history, literature, languages and music are related, often directly, to the study of all art historical periods. Courses in film studies relate to contemporary art. Chemistry and/or studio work are especially recommended for students wishing to do post-graduate work in restoration and conservation. Certain offerings in sociology and anthropology are particularly useful for students working in the area of native art.
B.A. (Honours) and B.A. students in Art History should consider taking a studio course that acquaints them with techniques and materials that have been applied in the history of art, either through the University of Ottawa exchange agreement (see p. 45) or by means of a Letter of Permission. 1.0 credit in studio may be counted as a general option in either the B.A. (Honours) or B.A. program. Such courses must be taken in accordance with University policy and must be approved in advance by the Registrarial Services office.
Students from other departments and disciplines, part-time students and Special students may discover that courses in Art History complement their interests or their programs. Such students may enrol in any course in Art History without the stated prerequisite if permission of the discipline has been obtained. Preparatory reading is expected of all students who enrol without the stated prerequisite, and appropriate reading lists are available from the Undergraduate Administrative Assistant throughout the year.
In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations (see p. 48), all Faculty regulations, including those for First-Year Seminars and Breadth requirements (see p. 63), and all Major regulations and requirements set out below.
Courses Open to First-Year Students
All First-year Art History courses are open to first-year students. Second-year courses are open to all students with Second-year standing. Many of the course offerings fulfill the requirement for breadth in the new B.A. program. All students taking an Art History course above the 100-level without the background of Art History 11.110*/11.111* are strongly advised to prepare themselves by reading a general survey of art history, such as Marilyn Stokstad, Art History, prior to registration in such a course.
