You will develop your creative practice across studio disciplines — drawing, painting, digital media, design and visual theory — building a strong portfolio and the conceptual and technical skills of a working artist. The program blends hands-on studio work with art history and critical study. Graduates pursue careers as visual artists, designers, arts educators and administrators, and in the wider creative and cultural industries.

At Algoma's Sault Ste. Marie campus you benefit from small classes, strong scholarships and individual attention, and as a public-university degree the program keeps you eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after you graduate.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Visual Artist / Illustrator, Graphic / Digital Designer and Art Educator, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.

With small class sizes, supportive faculty and one of Canada's most generous scholarship programs, international students at Algoma get personal attention, hands-on learning and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
