About the degree

The Creative Industries program is a highly competitive interdisciplinary degree that enables students to pursue a combination of creative arts and business courses. The only one of its kind in Canada, the program was created in response to major shifts driven by new technology and economic models in the creative fields. 

Through business, communications, and industry-specific courses, students gain an agile skill set that includes analytical, problem solving, design, and communications skills. This 4-year B.A. is designed to prepare a generation of leaders who understand the complexity of business and possess the creative knowledge to work in arts-based industries.
