Schools

Note: Most schools use their field of study for short, i.e., SFU Communication, SFU Contemporary Arts.
When introducing the name of an SFU school or faculty, preface with “SFU” rather than “the.” Market research shows that awareness and favourability increase when individual faculties and departments are associated with the parent brand.
Examples:
- On first reference: “Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business” (vs “Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University” or “Simon Fraser University Beedie School of Business”)
- On subsequent reference of SFU: “SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts” (vs. School for the Contemporary Arts at SFU” or “the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts”)
- Subsequent reference of Beedie: “SFU Beedie” (vs. just “Beedie”) or SFU School for the Contemporary Arts
