Language, Literature and Performing Arts
Have you ever delighted in a sentence? Thrilled at a theatrical performance? Or felt joy after mastering a new language?
Or perhaps you are inquisitive, culturally curious, or creative? Do you enjoy building and creating? Performing on stage as an actor or musician? Or perhaps you prefer to be behind the scenes, producing the shows that look and sound amazing on stage and screen.
If so, I invite you to consider one of the many outstanding programs offered by the Faculty of Language, Literature and Performing Arts. The skills you will develop here are foundational to many careers. Through small classes, focused practice, and hands-on experience, you will build critical listening, thinking, reasoning, judgment, technical, and communication skills that will never expire. You will develop strategies to be adaptable, responsive, and ready to lead in an ever-changing world.
Our faculty members include artists, writers, creators, musicians, designers, mediators, coaches, and technicians.
If you’re getting ready for post-secondary studies through one of our academic upgrading programs, exploring deeper with an Associate of Arts degree, or looking for practical experiences through a diploma in performance, technology, or professional communications, our programs offer opportunities to build the human skills that will take you where you want to go.
