POsT-BACCALAUREATE<br />
PROGRAM OVERVIEW<br />
NSCAD University <strong>of</strong>fers three certificate<br />
programs for those wishing to pursue studies<br />
after obtaining a bachelor degree:<br />
Visual <strong>Art</strong>s Certificate for Teachers<br />
Visual <strong>Art</strong>s Certificate in Studio<br />
Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Design<br />
Application Deadlines<br />
Admission for Certificate Programs is on a<br />
rolling basis <strong>and</strong> applications will be reviewed<br />
as they are received. Complete applications can<br />
expect an admission response within three<br />
weeks <strong>of</strong> receipt. Once accepted into a certificate<br />
program, a successful applicant chooses<br />
her/his starting semester <strong>and</strong> registers for<br />
classes accordingly.<br />
VIsUAL ARTs CERTIFICATE FOR TEACHERs<br />
A 30 credit part-time program designed for all<br />
teachers, this program will strengthen your<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> the visual arts for integration into<br />
your teaching practice.<br />
VIsUAL ARTs CERTIFICATE IN sTUDIO<br />
[DIsCIPLINE] OR [GENERAL PRACTICE]<br />
A 30 credit part-time program designed for those<br />
with a visual arts degree, this program enables<br />
you to focus on a different visual arts field than<br />
you have studied previously. If you have a degree<br />
in a non-visual arts field, the general practice will<br />
provide you with critical <strong>and</strong> practical experience<br />
in the studio environment.<br />
POsT-BACCALAUREATE CERTIFICATE<br />
IN DEsIGN<br />
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Design is<br />
a 30 credit program normally taken in the Fall<br />
<strong>and</strong> Winter semesters. It is composed <strong>of</strong> a mix <strong>of</strong><br />
Studio (21 credits) <strong>and</strong> Liberal <strong>Art</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Science<br />
(nine credits) courses. This program is not specific<br />
to any particular area <strong>of</strong> design; it is meant to<br />
be a generalist design credential in keeping<br />
with the broad, interdisciplinary approach in<br />
NSCAD’s BDES <strong>and</strong> MDES programs. Because<br />
we expect that the majority <strong>of</strong> students entering<br />
this program will be international students, we<br />
believe that these graduates will need to:<br />
• have an enhanced underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the<br />
current practice <strong>of</strong> design in Western<br />
countries<br />
• be able to communicate more effectively<br />
in English<br />
• have a clearer idea <strong>of</strong> what is expected<br />
from students in a Canadian university<br />
at the graduate level<br />
