Established in 1925, Emily Carr University of Art + Design is the only specialized, accredited, public, post-secondary university in British Columbia solely devoted to education and research in the creative fields. Encouraging research and experimentation at the intersection of art, design, media and technology, the University places students at the centre of a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment. Critical theory and studio practice merge with cultures of community engagement, research, and exhibition to deliver dynamic undergraduate and graduate level degrees, certificates, and lifelong learning opportunities in art, design and media. Recognized as Canada’s most research-intensive art and design university, Emily Carr is strategically focused to empower students with a transformative approach and a competitive edge in the knowledge and creative economies. Faculty and alumni are internationally recognized, award-winning creators and thought leaders, with ninety-two percent of graduates contributing to the cultural and creative sectors through their professions – whether as entrepreneurs or within a wide array of leading companies. Currently located on Granville Island, in Vancouver, BC, the University will move to a new purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility in 2017. Emily Carr’s Great Northern Way Campus will transform Vancouver’s landscape as the centre of a new social, cultural, educational, entertainment and economic engine for Vancouver, British Columbia, and Canada.
