There are two ways to complete the Fine Arts Program at Langara.

Full time program:

Students take 4-6 classes per term. This is a rigorous, full time program and students should expect to budget a minimum of 4 hours homework time for each studio class taken. Some studios (ceramics, sculpture and printmaking) require working in the studio rather than at home.

The fine arts program provides two years of intensive study in fine arts. The program has excellent transferability to universities and art schools in British Columbia, Canada, and the USA. The Diploma in Fine Arts offers a dual purpose to the prospective student:

Preparation leading toward advanced study at other art institutions; and

Foundation training for employment opportunities.

The program emphasis is on studio art with the opportunity for specialization in the second year. Diploma requirements include academic courses in English, art history, and cultural theory.

Drawing and design are considered core courses. Students must complete drawing and design each term before advancing to the next term.
