The School of Fine Art and Music provides students with unique opportunities to gain expertise and professional experience in the study and management of art and material culture within an interdisciplinary research context. Our program prepares students for careers in a variety of related fields including cultural resource and collections management in museums, archives, libraries,and galleries and careers in legal, business, educational, and governmental organizations and agencies associated with the material world. We provide students with the credentials required for further specialization in art research and education, restoration and conservation, librarianship, and therapeutic art practices.<br>The MA program offers two streams – a thesis-based stream and a course-based stream with a major research paper (MRP). The thesis-based stream is six semesters and the MRP stream is three semesters. Both options provide students with core knowledge about Art History and Visual Culture within an interdisciplinary research context beneficial for transition to higher levels of education and research and/or for careers in a variety of fields, such as art publishing, museum and gallery work, or government agencies.<br>In the thesis option, students must complete two core courses, two electives from the list below. One elective may be an approved course from another College of Arts program. <br>Students will also complete a thesis, consisting of an extensive piece of research of 30,000-35,000 words, a public colloquium, and an oral examination. Students are expected to present and defend their work orally in a manner appropriate to a professional art historian's public presentation
