Creativity lives here
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.
