Visual Arts Certificate in Studio, Drawing

For those who have a Visual Arts Degree such as a Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Design and wish to study a new studio discipline they haven't studied before or expand their knowledge of a practice they may have only briefly touched on in the past.

The Visual Arts Certificate in Studio: Drawing is like adding a Drawing Minor to your existing education. You will further your exploration of visual art processes through concentrated study this discipline in which no more than 12 credits were earned during your prior degree work.

Certcate participants tailor their study to meet their individual interests through a wide selection of studio and theoretical credit courses designed for NSCAD degree programs. Certcate students participate in the same credit courses with the same faculty as degree students.

All degree students at NSCAD University must demonstrate the ability to write competently in English. Students meet this requirement by successfully completing FNDN 1800 Writing for the Arts, in the Foundation year. Students who attended another post-secondary institution before entering NSCAD may meet the writing requirement through transfer by demonstrating that they have previously completed studies in an English-speaking university program. Students must have studied at an English-speaking university and must have completed at least six credits of English courses or nine credits of liberal arts courses at a B- level or better to fulfill the requirement.

Students transferring from community colleges cannot meet the writing requirement through transfer except in circumstances where NSCAD University has a formal articulation or transfer agreements with a specific college in which meeting the writing requirement through transfer is provided for in the agreement. Students from other community colleges for which transfer is not possible, may register for a 2000-level liberal arts/art history course concurrently with FNDN 1800, but must successfully complete FNDN 1800 before taking other LAS/AHIS courses at NSCAD University or under NSCAD University auspices.
