Graduate Programs

The Department of Visual Arts at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 offers three graduate degrees: a Master’s in Fine Art (MFA), a Master’s in Art History and Curatorial Studies (MA), and a Doctorate in Art and Visual Culture (PhD). These programs are unique in Canada because they combine an emphasis on contemporary critical theory and historical art theory with traditional instruction and supervision in the studio arts and art history. The program offers excellent opportunities for exchange and collaboration across the different areas of study.
