All undergraduate degrees begin with our Foundation Year, a program that provides students with just that: a foundation. Students have the opportunity to explore art, media and design in a highly structured learning environment, and to discover their creative aspirations, both individually and collaboratively.

This required first-year program is based on a com-bination of academic and studio courses, where students learn to develop visual literacy, conceptual sophistication, material and technical skills and the fundamentals of studio practices in every discipline imaginable. Throughout these highly engaging courses, we encourage students to take risks, work outside of their comfort zone and experiment with both materials and ideas. This goal is supported with a choice of individual streams, and experience with specific majors through elective courses — an approach that speaks to the interdisciplinary focus of the University and helps to guide decisions for chosen majors in the second year of study.

The primary goals of the Foundation program are to encourage critical inquiry and to promote a natural desire to engage in contemporary art, media and design issues.

My first year at Emily Carr has been an exciting, challenging, and transformative experience. I have discovered more about myself and the world through the learning I have experienced and the relationships I have established.

bachelor of designOur design and media programs respond to the changing needs in the world around us, on a variety of scales, and focus on the development of compre-hensive messaging, experiences and social context. Upon graduation, our award-winning students continue their leadership in creative industries and innovation around the globe.

COMMUNICATION DESIGN MAJOR

Communication Design focuses on developing com-prehensible meaningful messages and experiences. The program emphasizes various study pathways, including information design, e-pub and publication design, interface design, interactivity for social and mobile media applications and motion graphics. Within these areas of specialization, students can further refine their interests by focusing on services and systems, typography and type design, wayfind-ing and exhibit design and other opportunities such as design for immersive environments and commu-nity engagement.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN MAJOR

Industrial Design focuses on mediating human experience through the design of objects, systems, technology, environments, products and services, offering a rigorous program of hands-on study that emphasizes the understanding of human needs through exploration and prototyping in real time and space. Students can be generalists in this program, or they can focus their work on household products, recreational products, electronics, medical and health design, soft products, ceramics, exhibitions and furniture, as well as research in sustainability.

INTERACTION DESIGN MAJOR

Interaction Design fosters the integration and appli-cation of combined skills in both physical and digital environments to help shape the way we interact with artifacts, information and environments in everyday life. Through hands-on projects based on a range of iterative human-centred modeling meth-ods, students can investigate deeply into interactive wearables and mobile devices, online services and automated systems, sensor-activated environ-ments and social networks, and systems that enable a more sustainable future.

Within the animation program, students can focus on a specialized stream of courses to best suit their particular interests.

INTERACTIVE + SOCIAL MEDIA ARTS MAJOR

The Interactive + Social Media Arts major enables students to pursue creative and critical art practices that employ the use of interactive technologies. Students are encouraged to undertake work incor-porating themes and practices such as narrative, performance and collage with current and emerging technological media, including social networking, locative media and robotics. Students explore new technologies while developing a critical point of view regarding the social and political aspects of contem-porary culture and the role that technology plays within it.

bachelor of fine artsCRITICAL + CULTURAL PRACTICE MAJOR

The Critical + Cultural Practice major enables students to explore the importance of art history, cultural the-ory and criticism while they develop their studio prac-tice. Academic classes (Art History, Design History, English, Humanities, Media History, Science and Social Sciences) can make up more than half of the curricu-lum, with the remainder of credits in studio courses. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to foster connections between theory and practice, and to bring modern and contemporary approaches to the creation of material and textual culture.

FILM, VIDEO + INTEGRATED MEDIA MAJOR

Film, Video + Integrated Media offers a studio-based education that explores contemporary prac-tices in media arts. The program offers a vibrant combination of studio work, technical instruction, theory, critical analysis, history and professional practices. This major has a focus on independent interdisciplinary learning processes and specialized technical skill development within a model of collaboration, historical and critical awareness and creative content development.

ILLUSTRATION MAJOR

Illustration reflects the changing art and design land-scape. Students focus on illustrative approaches to communicating ideas and explore pictorial strategies that span across territories, histories and disciplines of commercial illustration where drawing, painting and design have always been interconnected.

PHOTOGRAPHY MAJOR

Photography offers a strong emphasis on conceptual, technical and historical knowledge, preparing stu-dents to become innovative photographers within contemporary culture. The curriculum covers a wide range of cameras, black-and-white and colour pro-cesses, archival printing, digital imaging, installa-tions, studio and projection lighting, projected imagery, image and text and directorial work.

VISUAL ART MAJOR

The Visual Art program actively promotes the inter-relationship between material practice and critical reflection through material and intellectual experi-mentation. This major takes into account the development of studio skills, creation, analysis and understanding within social and cultural contexts. (cont’d page 21)

Blending rigorous individual and group critiques, the Visual Art program provides a balanced integra-tion of theory, practice and production. Areas of practice include:

ceramics Curriculum integrates ceramic concepts and materials with sculpture, painting, drawing, print media, digital applications, design and archi-tecture. Students explore expression, conceptual development, function, decoration and mixed media approaches within scientific, technological and social contexts, both historical and contemporary.

drawing Drawing students develop an understand-ing of the technical, perceptual and conceptual aspects of drawing and participate in the exchange of ideas and solutions. Curriculum cultivates stu-dents’ abilities to develop two-dimensional language and technical virtuosity in relation to contemporary art practices.

illustration (See Illustration Major, page 18)

painting Through subjects ranging from the personal to the global, Painting provides students with a framework for formal and material exploration. Whether narrative or abstract, the curriculum allows for diverse solutions that, while acknowledging the history of painting, work toward advancing the discipline in new and innovative ways.

print media This concentration focuses on concepts and processes that shape artistic exploration, and on the roles that the printed image and text play in so-ciety. Curriculum covers a wide range of printmaking techniques, including woodblock, engraving and etching, lithography and screen-printing.

22

sculpture Curriculum emphasizes the development of ideas and concepts through the study of three-dimensional form and space. Techniques, materials and methods reflect the diversity of contemporary and traditional practices. Students are encouraged to explore sculptural approaches that include video, installation, electronic media and kinetics, as well as the production of cast or constructed objects.

The Master of Applied Arts (MAA) degree promotes critical reflection and intellectual inquiry, and links art, design and media to professional practices and industry. Students combine academic learning, research and studio practice with practical experi-ence in a variety of creative industries.

Both the resident and low residency programs integrate the study of theory with research and pro-duction, and include rigorous individual and group critiques. Students elect to concentrate their studies in one of three streams — Design, Media Arts or Visual Arts — and have access to both traditional and advanced technologies. Interdisciplinarity is actively encouraged, with many students working collabora-tively and across streams.

The Low Residency MAA program combines online and independent learning with annual summer intensives at our Vancouver campus. This allows students to study in their home communities for the majority of the year.

scholarshipsSCHOLARSHIPS

Emily Carr University of Art + Design offers a limited number of entrance scholarships ($1,000 – $4,000) to those students presenting high academic achieve-ment and artistic potential. Applications for entrance scholarships are not required, as the University will select students based on their academic and artistic merit. A full list of undergraduate and graduate schol-arships can be found in the Financial Aid + Awards section of the website.

TUITION

Students are required to pay the full amount of their tuition fees once they have submitted their registra-tion. From our experience, making an online payment via your bank (internet) or telephone banking has proven to be the most convenient and effective meth-od of payment. A full breakdown of tuition fees is listed on the Emily Carr website for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Many international funding agencies will only consider funding students who attend accredited degree-granting institutions. And that’s a good thing: Emily Carr meets this requirement, as we are an approved public degree-granting institution chartered by the Province of British Columbia. United States citizens are eligible to apply for Stafford Loans to attend our University, whereas International students planning to study at Emily Carr must secure their financing through their country of origin.
