Concordia’s Graduate Certificate in Curatorial Studies and Practices (15-credits) and the Microprogram in Curatorial Studies (12-credits) offer students introductory and advanced seminars in curatorial theory and practices, an exhibition concept design course, and the choice of a three-credit elective.

The 15-credit Graduate Certificate in Curatorial Studies and Practices offers students the opportunity to bring a curatorial project to life through a three-credit practicum. In the summer term, the practicum can take place on campus in our dedicated Curatorial lab or across the city at partnered cultural spaces and venues throughout Montreal.
