Major in Creative Arts and Production, BA

The Creative Arts and Production program (CAP) is a four-year Major BA in which students explore the diverse meanings and significance of the creative arts and creativity through doing work that is interdisciplinary and engages with history and theory as well as through practice and production. Critical thinking and making are central to the program. In the CAP module, students take both core and elective courses alongside another Major, Specialization or Honours Specialization in a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the Faculty of Information and Media Studies, or the Don Wright Faculty of Music. Through collaborative projects and experiential learning opportunities, students examine the arts industry, discover and harness many forms of creativity by working independently and collaboratively, and consider the relationship between practical creative processes and interdisciplinary ideas and issues, including intersectional identity and community. Students will be able to bring practical skills and critical knowledge of creative theory to their future careers across a wide spectrum of the arts. Their experience in the program will facilitate both their awareness of the role of creativity in the world and their growth as global citizens.
