Partnership with Emily Carr University of Art and Design
Fleming College has officially partnered with British Columbia’s Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECUAD) to provide pathways for Fleming students to obtain both a diploma and degree in the arts.A new articulation agreement allows students in Fleming’s Haliburton School of The Arts – upon completion of the Visual and Creative Arts diploma program – to directly enter the third year of ECUAD Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program.“This is an incredible opportunity for our students! Fleming College and the Emily Carr University of Art and Design are both intent on providing the highest level of arts education to their students. This partnership will afford the students with the opportunity to continue their growth and development in the visual arts,” says Sandra Dupret, Principal of the Haliburton Campus.“With a Visual and Creative Arts diploma from Fleming College and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from ECUAD, students can consider pursing a Masters Degree in Fine Arts. As an added bonus, it is possible for a student to attain their Visual and Creative Arts diploma within one year of compressed study. That means that students can achieve both their diploma and bachelor’s degree within three years and begin their professional arts careers.”BackgroundThe Emily Carr University of Art and Design is located in Vancouver, BC.
