But disciplinary rigor is only one part of the AMPD experience. Guided by award-winning artists and leading scholars with real-world experience, you’ll push the boundaries between artistic media, explore emerging technologies, and discover the creative side of other fields. You will gain practical experience, explore career options, and build relationships with prospective employers through field placements, internships, and the School’s partnerships with creative industries and arts organizations, from Facebook to the Canadian Stage.

You have a dream. This is your time and this is the place to transform that dream into new ways of thinking, new avenues for your creativity, and new paths to success after graduation.
