Program details
Overview
Studio Arts is a profile within Dawson College's Arts, Literature and Communication Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC), a two-year pre-university program. Students work across drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, fibre arts, and digital media, and study art history through gallery visits near the college's downtown Montreal campus. Admission requires a Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES) or an academic background judged equivalent to the DES; no prior art experience, portfolio, or art classes are required. Students may combine studio coursework with courses in cinema, literature, music, languages, or theatre, alongside the general education courses required of all Arts, Literature and Communication students. The program culminates in a self-directed project exhibited at a vernissage event. Graduates receive a DEC and are prepared for university studies in fine arts, design, or art history. The program is delivered at Dawson College's downtown Montreal campus.
