Entry requirements

The minimum requirement for admission to the master's program is an honours bachelor's degree (or the equivalent) in art history, history and theory of architecture, or a related discipline, with at least high honours standing. Related disciplines may include architectural studies, anthropology, history, and Canadian studies. Applicants without a background in art or architectural history may be required to take up to a maximum of 2.0 credits in certain designated courses from the undergraduate art history program in addition to their regular program. Qualifying-Year Program Applicants who do not qualify for direct admission to the master's program may be admitted to a qualifying-year program. Applicants who lack an honours degree, but have a three-year degree with honours standing (at least B overall) will normally be admitted to a qualifying-year program.

Graduate programmes normally admit to the fall (September) term; some programmes also consider applicants for the winter (January) or summer (May) terms.

Apply online through Carleton360. Applications for most programmes for the upcoming Fall, Winter and Summer terms open on 1 June. Most programmes have two deadlines per term: the first for guaranteed consideration of admission and funding, the second if space and funds remain; deadlines vary by programme and may be as early as 9 months before start. Application fee: C$125 (C$175 for the MBA), non-refundable, paid by credit card and not waived.
