Emily Carr University of Art + Design

Emily Carr University of Art + Design is a learning community devoted to excellence and innovation in visual arts, media arts, and design. Our vision is to be a worldwide center of excellence in art, design, and media education and research. Founded in 1925, we are one of the oldest post-secondary institutions in British Columbia and the only one dedicated solely to professional education and learning in the arts, media, and design.

Teaching and applied research happens across thirteen majors and five degrees, within four faculties: the Faculty of Culture + Community, the Ian Gillespie Faculty of Design + Dynamic Media, the Audain Faculty of Art, and the Jake Kerr Faculty of Graduate Studies. The university serves over 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and more than 1,900 noncredit students. We provide a close-knit community that offers students a personal level of service in a creative environment.
