Dance: Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA)

Admission Requirements: BC/Yukon secondary applicants (rules for Fall 2026 entry onwards): graduate from high school carrying at least five approved academic Grade 12 courses, score 70% or better in Language Arts 11 / English 12 or equivalent, and clear SFU's English language requirement and its Quantitative and Analytical Skills requirement (60% or C in an approved Grade 11 or 12 math course, or an accepted IB / A-level / GCSE / transferable equivalent). Approved AP or IB courses may stand in for the required courses. Program prerequisites — Grade 11: no specific courses are required. Grade 12: English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12, with no further subject prerequisites. International secondary applicants: graduate from a university-preparatory stream at a senior high school, meet the same English language and quantitative requirements, and present no additional faculty or program course prerequisites beyond the general requirements. The admission average is taken from final-year results and SFU publishes country-by-country equivalencies; applicants short of direct entry can route through Fraser International College. Entry to the School for the Contemporary Arts BFA majors is cohort-based and limited to the Fall term — SFU admits to Spring and Summer terms generally, but not to these majors. Alongside the SFU application you must complete an SCA supplemental application, due 7 February for Fall entry (transfer and second-degree applicants who apply after 31 January have until 22 April, with other admission documents due 15 May). Part one is an area-specific questionnaire and supporting material; part two is the audition or interview. You need offers from both SFU and the SCA to start the major; if the SCA turns you down, SFU assesses you for your second-choice program. For Dance the supplemental application is a questionnaire plus an audition; SFU prefers a live audition and accepts a video audition where attending in person is not possible. Admission is competitive and files are re-read as new marks arrive, so meeting the published minimums does not by itself secure a place.
