The Historical and Critical Studies Division is integral to NSCAD’s studio-based programs in art, craft and design. Courses in art history, English, film history and theory, art education and critical studies serve as both program requirements and general academic electives. Ranging from introductory surveys to senior seminars, these courses bring together students from all divisions, fostering a cross-disciplinary flow of ideas and interaction.

Enhanced by its setting within an art school, the division also offers a Bachelor of Arts, Major in Art History program within a unique interdisciplinary environment. Though it emphasizes Western art, craft, design and architecture from the 19th century onward, the program also provides opportunities to study non-Western art, and to engage in critical discourses surrounding the social production and reception of art. Students in all NSCAD degree programs may also take a minor in art history.

NSCAD Univeristy is now offering a
Bachelor of Arts Major in Art History (Non-Studio Transfer)
