About the Program

If you have a passion for the arts and see yourself pursuing a career in this field, a degree in fine arts is an excellent way to develop your skills and increase your knowledge. Whether your passion is painting, sculpture, music, dance, or theatre, an education in the fine arts can help you build the foundation on which to follow your artistic aspirations.

You can begin a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Medicine Hat College and transfer to one of our partner universities to finish your studies. We have transfer agreements in place with University of Alberta, Faculty of Arts; University of Calgary, Faculty of Fine Arts; University of Lethbridge, Faculty of Fine Arts; University of Regina, Faculty of Fine Arts; and University of Saskatchewan, College of Arts and Science.  

We recommend that you meet with an academic advisor from Medicine Hat College and from the university you plan to attend regarding admission requirements and course selections. Navigating a transfer can be very complex, and course selection is very important to ensure you meet the admission requirements of the institution you wish to apply to.
