NSCAD University is located in Kjipuktuk, the district of Sipekne’katik, Mi’kma’ki, which since time immemorial, has been the unceded traditional territory and ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq Nation. We pay
respect
to the historic and contemporary Mi’kmaw artists who have, over millennia, created unique artforms and designs, and through generations, passed down ways of being, knowing, and doing that are valued and respected.
NSCAD University is committed to forging a relationship based on reciprocity as we move forward together in a good way, based on the foundational aspirations in our collective treaties, dating back to 1725. In Nova Scotia, we recognize we are all Treaty People.
About NSCAD University Founded in 1887, NSCAD University is one of only four Canadian art-and-design schools in Canada. As Canada’s first independent degree-granting art school, NSCAD University has offered undergraduate and graduate degrees for over 30 years. NSCAD University, formerly the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, is an internationally recognized centre for studying, practicing, and teaching
visual arts
. Today, NSCAD offers graduate and undergraduate degrees in fine and media arts, craft, design, art history and critical studies, as well as an ambitious array of Extended Studies courses.
NSCAD alumni are among Canada’s most highly regarded artists, gallery directors, designers, curators, and art educators – they are well-represented in arts organizations around the globe.
The University relies on delivering its programs on faculty attached to various divisions:
Craft, Design, Fine Arts, Foundation Studies, Media Arts, Art History and Contemporary Culture, and Graduate Studies. Because of the small size of the institution, a small faculty complement works in each of these areas. Over 800 students are distributed over the degrees offered, and 41.5 full-time faculty members are responsible for educating them. Students benefit from
hands-on
studio learning in small classrooms and have access to fabrication shops and studios for both traditional and digital creation.
Alongside a
diverse
and
supportive team
of instructors and peers, students gain employable skills.
