The school is committed to the study, production and promotion of contemporary art.
The school’s philosophy is that the theory and practice of art, the doing and thinking, cannot be separated: all programs within the school, therefore, combine theoretical and critical study with practical experience. Theoretical and critical studies include the historical development of and the interrelationships among the arts, the process of art-making, and the relationship between art and the world within which it is made. Practical experience is available within studio or laboratory courses, and students are encouraged to acquire additional practical experience by participating in extracurricular productions, exhibitions or performances.
The school offers general interest courses and sponsors a variety of public events in order to make contemporary art more accessible to, and to provide cultural activities for, the wider community.
Program and course admission is contingent upon University admission. Contact Student Services for admission procedures, requirements and deadlines. Entry to all programs and to many courses is by audition, interview or application. Contact the school’s office for information on procedures and deadlines.
Although the University operates on a trimester system, most FPA courses are planned in a two term (fall and spring) sequence. Consequently, students enter in the fall term (September) and are advised to contact the school in the preceding January for program entry and requirements information.
Transfer Credit and Advanced Standing
Unassigned or general elective (type 2 and 3, respectively) transfer credit awarded for courses completed at other recognized post-secondary institutions will not automatically entitle students to advanced standing in the school’s programs. Advanced standing is generally given on an individual basis as a result of an audition or interview.

- major in art and culture studies (BA)
- major in dance (BFA)
- major in film (BFA)
- major in music (BFA)
- major in theatre (BFA)

91ÅÝܽ the School’s Course Offerings

Art and Culture Studies Major Program
This major leads to a bachelor of arts degree. Within the fine and performing arts, there are lively debates about the meaning and significance of individual artworks, as well as their relationships to audiences and to other forms of culture.
