For those looking for a distinctive university journey that balances adaptability with academic challenge, the Visual Arts Major is an ideal choice.

Instead of focusing on a single discipline, you'll cultivate your artistic skills across five foundational areas: ceramics, drawing, painting, print media, and sculpture. The program also provides opportunities to delve into additional fields like illustration, performance, photography, and curatorial work. Designed for self-motivated and highly imaginative students, Visual Arts grants remarkable flexibility and autonomy. You'll craft your own educational journey while uncovering your talents and passions as an artist. While honing your creative abilities, you'll gain profound insights into how different art forms relate and overlap, along with the historical context shaping contemporary art.

Guided by faculty members—active artists who shape Canada's creative scene—you'll perfect your techniques and pursue your artistic inquiries. Upon graduation, you'll possess a polished and impressive portfolio to kickstart your career in the visual arts.
