The Visual Arts Studio Certificate is a 30-credit, on-campus certificate at Thompson Rivers University's Kamloops campus. The program expands students' creative practice through second-year studio and theoretical courses across a range of media, including drawing, painting, colour theory, printmaking, photography, 3D design, sculpture, and ceramics, each building directly on foundational first-year studio coursework completed before entry. It is designed to bridge into the Bachelor of Fine Arts program for students who wish to continue their studio-art studies further at degree level. Entry is direct from Grade 12, with upgrading and university-preparation pathways available for applicants who do not yet meet that requirement, and the certificate is also open to international applicants; the credential awarded is a Visual Arts Studio Certificate.
