Why choose OCAD:
OCAD U is one of the longest running art schools in Canada. Since 1876, faculty and alumni have included influential figures in Canada's visual culture. This heritage has allowed OCAD U to develop one of the most comprehensive curriculums – and the broadest choice of majors – in the country. The academic rigour of a university is combined with the experimental freedom of a hands-on, small class studio environment.
Located in downtown Toronto, right next to the Art Gallery of Ontario, OCAD U is at the centre of a vibrant and diverse city.
OCAD U has a satellite program in Florence, Italy for 3rd or 4th year students.
Notable Alumni: Shary Boyle, Meryl McMaster, Richard Fung, Michael Snow, Rebecca Belmore, Doris McCarthy and Sanaz Mazinani.
