Alberta College of Art and Design

The Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) is a degree granting college that offers programs in Fine Arts, Crafts, Graphic Design and New Media. Students at ACAD receive a studio-based experience and the small class size and large studios help establish a one-on-one teaching dynamic. Located in Calgary, Alberta the faculty to student ration is one of the best in Canada. The environment allows students to receive the tools, techniques and encouragement required to help establish their own personal passion and voice. Their mission is to ensure that "ACAD is a leading centre for education and research, and a catalyst for creative inquiry and cultural development. We engage the world and create possibilities."
