Overview

About the program

The Art History program is devoted to investigating art, visual and material culture, and architecture across time and place. Taught by faculty members, drawn from all three campuses (St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough), graduate courses reflect the global range of faculty research areas: Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, Modern and Contemporary, African, Caribbean, East Asian, European, Latin American, Mediterranean, Islamic, North American, South Asian, and Indigenous.

The Department of Art History at the University of Toronto furnishes students with the ability to examine, reflect upon, and write about images, objects, spaces, and creative practices. We offer supervision in all major areas of Art History, as well as a broad range of graduate courses every year. Students are a vital part of our research community, not only attending courses but also organizing reading groups and workshops, and participating in our very active calendar of lectures and conferences.
