Administrative history
The University of Alberta established the first Department of Fine Arts in the province in 1945. Visual arts, music and drama were included under the headship of Henry George Glyde. In 1962, the BFA program in art was introduced. The Department of Fine Arts split into its present three Departments of Music, Drama, and Art and Design in 1965. By 1970/71 an MFA Program was instituted. The Department's present structure was developed between 1967 and 1974. Courses are offered in the three major areas of Design Studies, Fine Arts, and the History of Art, Design, and Visual Culture (PACCR, 1982). The department offers BA, BDes, and BFA degrees, as well as Master of Design, MFA, and PhD programs.
Heads: 1945-1966 Henry George Glyde; 1966-1967 John Benjamin Taylor (Acting); 1967-1976 Ronald Davey.
Chairs: 1976-1982 Douglas Haynes; 1982-1987 Jorge Frascara; 1987-1990 Richard Chenier; 1990-1991 Ronald Davey (Acting); 1990- Desmond A. Rochfort.
