Fine Arts
Courses
Current
The fine arts program provides two years of intensive study in fine arts. The program has excellent transferability to universities and art schools in British Columbia, Canada, and the USA. The Diploma in Fine Arts offers a dual purpose to the prospective student:
- Preparation leading toward advanced study at other art institutions; and
- Foundation training for employment opportunities.
The program emphasis is on studio art with the opportunity for specialization in the second year. Diploma requirements include academic courses in English, art history, and cultural theory.
Drawing and design are considered core courses. Students must complete drawing and design each term before advancing to the next term.
Term Notes:
Students must achieve a minimum "C-" grade in a studio area to be eligible to register in that studio area at a second-year level.
Terms One and Two:
- Completion of all first-year courses in the program or transferred equivalence is required before entry into second year.
Terms Three and Four:
- Students must take a total of 18-24 credits of 2000-level studio courses
- When selecting 2200-level studio courses, please ensure that you have taken the appropriate 2100-level prerequisite courses and have achieved a minimum "C-" grade.
- Students wanting to do further study in fine arts should check with the institution to which they want to transfer to determine the course requirements of that institution.
- The number of fine arts studio electives in the second year of the program is dependent on the total number of second-year program students.
Admission to a program does not guarantee registration in required courses. Students interested in the program are strongly encouraged to check individual course prerequisites and submit relevant documents to Registrar & Enrolment Services well in advance of the registration period.
