Université de Moncton offers BA/BS in Visual Arts, a bachelor's degree in Visual Arts programme in Moncton, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,761 per year (CAD 8,601 per year for local students).
The Bachelor of Visual Arts is a four-year, 120-credit program with an enrolment cap of 30 students at the Moncton campus; the first year can also be completed at Edmundston before transferring to Moncton. Teaching combines theoretical study with technical studio work, seminars, oral presentations, individual research, reflective writing, and hands-on artistic practice. Admission requires submission of a portfolio of 10 to 15 works, alongside a secondary school diploma with a French course and four additional eligible courses at specified minimum grades and an overall average across the five admission courses. The program aims to train professional artists able to exhibit within established gallery and museum networks, participate in artistic events, and produce public art at a national and international scale. Beyond studio practice, it points graduates toward related career paths in architecture, art therapy, photography, web design, gallery direction, and arts programming. The program suits students seeking a practice-based, portfolio-driven foundation in visual arts with exposure to a range of professional contexts beyond independent studio work.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Canadian and permanent-resident applicants apply directly to Université de Moncton by recurring annual deadlines that carry no published calendar year: 31 August for autumn-term entry and 5 January for winter-term entry, with the Baccalauréat en science infirmière (Nursing) and Baccalauréat en design intérieur due 1 February, and the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at the Moncton campus or 30 June at Shippagan/Edmundston. International applicants must apply by 31 May for autumn entry and 30 September for winter entry, with the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at Moncton or 31 May at Shippagan/Edmundston. Applications received after these dates are automatically deferred to the following session, and Université de Moncton may close applications earlier if volume is high, so admission is firm rather than rolling. The admissions page's only calendar-year reference is to the Automne 2026 term already under way (registration closes 4 September 2026, classes begin 9 September 2026), which places the source's current context in the 2026-27 academic year; the next occurrences of the recurring deadlines above therefore fall in Hiver 2027 and Automne 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
