Specialized Arts and Culture Institutions

These two unique institutions specialize in providing fine arts and cultural programming at the undergraduate, graduate or professional development level. Their client focus is on learners interested in the fine arts and creativity.  

The Alberta College of Art and Design offers select baccalaureate degrees with a concentration on the fine arts and cultural programming. The wide geographic reach and client base also add to the uniqueness of this institution.

The Banff Centre specializes in advanced non-credit, continuing education opportunities in fine arts, management studies, language training and environmental training. Students usually enter these programs with existing academic credentials and/or professional experience in their area of study.
