The Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas in Art History and History and Theory of Architecture provide foundation for students wishing to pursue the MA program in Art and Architectural History but who do not have sufficient disciplinary background in the field. The diplomas are designed for students with a strong academic performance (minimum B average, or 8.0 GPA on the 12.0 Carleton scale), typically in an undergraduate degree outside Art History or History and Theory of Architecture, and a keen interest in advanced study in Art and Architectural History.
Designed for students wishing to pursue the MA program in Art and Architectural History, but who typically have completed an undergraduate degree in another field with a minimum B average or higher (8.0 GPA on the 12.0 Carleton scale), the diploma has the following requirements:
- 0.5 credit in: ARTH 3107 History and Methods of Art and Architectural History
- 2.5 credits in ARTH 2000-level or above (excluding ARTH 2710)
- 1.0 credit in ARTH at 4000 level.
With the approval of the Art History undergraduate supervisor, 0.5 credit may be taken outside the department.
Admission
Admission to the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma requires the permission of the Art and Architectural History program. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Students who complete the Diploma are eligible to apply for the master’s program, although completion of the Diploma does not guarantee admission into the program.
