University of the Fraser Valley

VanArts is very pleased to have a degree pathway partnership with University of the Fraser Valley right here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. This pathway allows our graduates to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree within two years of additional study at their campus in Abbotsford, less than one hour’s drive from Vancouver.

International students keen on studying and living abroad can achieve a full degree in three years all within one Canadian province, combining one intensive year of highly marketable industry training at VanArts with two years of testing these skills at UFV whilst fulfilling and enriching their academic experience.

Under this pathway, VanArts graduates may have up to 60 credits transferred towards the 120-credit BFA program at UFV, requiring a minimum of 60 credits to complete for the degree. The BFA is a double extended minor in two subject areas, with one subject determined by the specific pathway and the second subject chosen by the student.
