The Ontario College of Art & Design has more depth and breadth in visual arts
and design programs than any school of its kind in Canada. OCAD offers its
students a unique environment that combines studio-based learning with critical
inquiry. Programs lead to a BFA or BDes and, as of 2008/2009, an MA, MFA or
MDes.
At OCAD, we educate imaginations. We consider the future. We also
honour our history, recognizing the more than a century of achievement that
distinguishes our alumni. Joining the remarkable artists and designers we ve
graduated are established cultural leaders, educators, innovators, creative
thinkers and strategists.
OCAD students experience a range of research
contexts and methodologies via the university's significant research arm. Now,
they also have the opportunity to experience graduate programs.
OCAD is
located in the heart of Toronto, Canada s largest centre for design, culture
and business. This vibrant nexus brings together a diversity of creative forces.
And where great minds meet, magic happens.
The Digital Futures
Initiative is one such meeting. Breakthrough partnerships like this one
represent the emerging imagination economy, and open the door to greater
innovation, collaboration and research at OCAD and beyond. They unleash a wave
of talent whose imaginings will revolutionize how Canada works, builds, designs,
thinks and lives.
With the Age of Imagination upon us, creativity and
innovation are transforming cultures and economies worldwide. Now more than ever
before, we speak the language. We are the currency. Members of the OCAD
community our students, faculty and graduates are uniquely qualified to
act as catalysts for the next advances in culture, technology and quality of
life for all Canadians. |
