Creative art and design students from across Canada can take advantage of a new partnership between two Alberta fashion programs and the University of Lethbridge.
This partnership allows students from the new Lethbridge College Fashion Design and Sustainable Production progam or Olds College Apparel Technology major to enter into a degree program in the university’s Department of Theatre and Dramatic Arts.
The two-plus-two opportunity enables college students, who meet program criteria, to transfer to the university and receive two years of credit for their previous work at either Lethbridge College or Olds College.
These students enroll in the university’s post-diploma Bachelor of Fine Arts – Dramatic Arts program with a major in Technical/Design and finish their last two years of the degree program at the university.
”This agreement really adds value for students wanting to broaden their knowledge, skills and experience,” says Dr. Edward Jurkowski, Dean, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lethbridge. “Students have ample opportunities to get involved during all four years of their studies, given the enormous number of fine arts activities at the university, college and in the community.”
At the university, Technical/Design majors combine academic studies with an immersive approach that prepares graduates for the ever-changing world of theatre, whether they want to work with established theatre companies or on their own artist plans.
