NBCCD Programs

New BrunswickCollege of Craft and Design

Foundation Visual Arts is the starting point for most students at the College of Craft and Design. No visual arts portfolio is required for admission, because all courses in the 1-year program are designed to provide foundation visual arts theory and skill development.

You’ll experience hands-on learning in project-based courses, building your knowledge in fine craft and design disciplines, in the process creating a portfolio showcasing your work that can be used for application to more advanced programs at the College.

The New Brunswick College of Craft and Design campus is located in downtown Fredericton, a designated Cultural Capital of Canada. A campus library and store, and nearby bookstores, boutiques, cafés and art galleries help create an inspiring and supportive learning environment.

For information on the 1-year Foundation Visual Arts Certificate program, contact Jan Brooks, Coordinating Instructor, at (506) 453-8669 or [email protected].

For more information on application procedures, on summer or evening programming, or other full-time program options, please contact Nancy Beaulieu, College Registrar.

The decision to attend a specific program of study in the visual arts is an important one. We strongly recommend a campus tour if you’re considering an application to the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. We believe we have one of the most creative learning environments in the country!

If you’re thinking of applying to the Foundation Visual Arts program, no portfolio is required for admission (just a high school diploma, or equivalent). However, applicants to more advanced Diplomas or the Graduate Certificate program are required to submit a portfolio of original artwork. This should include ten (10) examples of recent original artwork, presented in an 8.5 x 11 inch format. Three dimensional work should be photographed and presented as two dimensional prints (do not include actual examples). Include a brief description of each piece of artwork, media used, and date of completion.

Applicants will be notified when portfolio assessments are complete. Portfolios can be picked up at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, 457 Queen St, Fredericton, or returned via Canada Post (be sure to include name and contact information, and a return mailing address).

For more information on application procedures to all programs contact Nancy Beaulieu, College Registrar. She can be reached at (506) 453-6491, or [email protected].

International

International students are attracted to the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design for many reasons. Our fine crafts and design programs are recognized – and fully accredited – in Canada and other nations. Class size is small and tuition is reasonable. What’s more, our students are taught by faculty with extensive professional experience and our graduates have a 96% job-placement rate. Finally, the learning environment here is very friendly and embraces students from many different cultures.

The New Brunswick College of Craft and Design was established in 1938. Today the campus is located in historic downtown Fredericton, the provincial capital and a designated Cultural Capital of Canada. Fredericton is home to two universities and two colleges, a vibrant arts scene, and a system of walking trails and parks along the St John River. A campus library and store, and nearby bookstores, boutiques, cafés and art galleries help create a safe, inspiring and supportive learning environment. For more information, go to www.fredericton.ca.

For more information on program and visa application procedures, on language requirements and housing options, contact Yvette Bourque, International Coordinator.

New Brunswick College of Craft and Design is the only college in Canada that focuses entirely on fine crafts and design. We’ve done this since 1938.

In 2010 we became an arts college independent of New Brunswick’s community college system, with our own administration and educational pathways. And our own future.

At the same time, we’ve also been designated a centre of excellence in the arts, expanding into a newly-renovated Soldier’s Barracks next door. We’ve recently signed international agreements in Brazil and China so our students can learn there, and theirs can learn here in Fredericton.

An astounding 96% of our graduates rate our programs as good or excellent. And exactly the same percentage are employed within 2 years of graduating.

Given all this, it’s little wonder we have one of the best educational experiences in the visual arts. Anywhere. Students benefit from small classe sizes, professional studios and labs, an extensive library, and some of the best faculty in the world of crafts and design.

For more information on application procedures, summer or evening programming, or other full-time program options, contact Nancy Beaulieu, College Registrar.
