One of the University's roles is to act as an advocate for the arts and reinforce the need for public support. At every opportunity, the University promotes public understanding and appreciation of fine arts, media arts, and design for their significant impact on the well-being of our society.Emily Carr's alumni and faculty are among the most influential and important artists and designers working in their respective fields. Graduates go on to careers in a variety of fields, and are regularly accepted into graduate studies programs in major universities and art institutions around the world. Our graduate students pursue careers in many fields.Emily Carr received degree-granting authority in 1989 through the Open Learning Agency, and in 1994 was granted authority to offer degrees in its own name: Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts, General Fine Arts, or Photography; and, Bachelor of Design in Communication Design or Industrial Design.In 1995 it became Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, and in 1997 was granted authority to offer Bachelor of Media Arts degrees.
