THE FOCUS OF THE BACHELOR OF DESIGN AT CAPILANO UNIVERSITY IS CAREER PREPARATION.

This year’s grad show theme is Get ’Em While They’re Fresh, to suggest a marketplace for industry professionals to inspect our new crop of creatives. Fresh aptly describes our 2020 grads: they’re irreverent, cheeky, exuberant – and bursting to demonstrate their design and illustration capabilities. We’re proud of their achievements and excited for all that awaits them.

Our program’s reputation within the communication design industry has been built over many years, and is key to connecting our graduates to rewarding careers. Our curriculum is continually evolving to reflect current professional standards and practice, and to anticipate new trends and opportunities. The Bachelor of Design offers a flexible curriculum to meet students’ specific goals, including opportunities to specialize in branding, illustration or interactive design. Students looking for a more direct pathway to industry may graduate after third year with an Advanced Diploma.
