Creativity. Community. Collaboration. 
Welcome to FCAT.

The Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology (FCAT) explores the intersection of media, art, culture, and technology with interdisciplinarity and creativity at its core.

FCAT is situated precisely where some of the most important developments of our time are being uncovered. Undergraduate programs in FCAT provide our students with the opportunity to study across disciplines not only within our faculty but the wider university while completing hand-on projects and gaining co-op work experience. This access to a diverse academic environment gives students the critical thinking, creative, and collaborative tools they need to succeed.

School of Communication

SFU's School of Communication has one of the best communication programs in the country. The hands-on skills you will learn during your Communication degree will prepare you for digital storytelling and communication with impact in a wide variety of industries. You will learn how media shapes our lives, how artificial intelligence and other technologies are embedded in the ways we communicate, how digital democracy operates today, and what you can do to make the world more just and equitable.

School for the Contemporary Arts

Situated in vibrant downtown Vancouver, the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University offers unique programs in which studio classes in Dance, Film, Performance Production & Design, Music & Sound, Theatre & Performance, and Visual Art are integrated with the historical and theoretical study of the arts. As well, students can follow a pathway focused on the critical study of the arts through our Art, Performance & Cinema Studies (APCS) program.

School of Interactive Arts and Technology

The School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT) prepares students with a practice-based understanding of the design, development, and study of digital technologies in a human-centred and socially-relevant context. SIAT students combine the production of art and design, the analysis of media and culture, the study of human cognition, and the creative application of new technologies—all to solve problems, tell stories and explore the intersection of art, science, culture and the humanities.
