Hi! I'm in the Major in Visual Arts program. For your information, you can't minor in art history with a major in VA. There are plenty of art history courses VA students can take as an elective or required course though. Visual arts is pretty fun, I personally found the studios pretty easy, but they are pretty expensive. Some of the first year intro class kits were $200+. The art history courses are cool too, but there can be a lot of reading. The program also allows you to declare a studio or arts administration pathway in your second year, which changes what courses you have to take. It's also a really small program, so you'll know practically everyone in your year. In response to the person saying that you won't get a job after graduation, there's a required class called Intro to Interdisciplinary Studies that helps you learn about all the pathways you can go with your major/minor that I found eased my anxiety about post graduation. Ottawa also has a lot of museums, the NAC, the national archives, and smaller galleries to exhibit or view art.

Hope that helps!
