Certificate in Creative Professional Practice

The Certificate in Creative Professional Practice provides an interdisciplinary grounding in professional practices in the creative arts, preparing students for life as creative entrepreneurs and self-employed artists. Students complete five courses in Contemporary Arts and two electives from Communication or Interactive Arts and Technology to complete this certificate. 

Program requirements

A student in any faculty at SFU may declare this certificate through the Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology. Normal university grade point average requirements apply for entry into all FCAT courses.

Students must complete a minimum of 21 units, including core and elective courses in professional practice at SFU. Units applied to one certificate also may be applied to major or minor programs of a bachelor’s degree under the normal regulations governing those programs but may not be applied to another Simon Fraser University certificate or diploma.

Students who wish to complete upper division courses must make sure they have the prerequisites and should be aware that some courses may have limited enrollments.
