Future Students

Where can the cSTAC program take me?
Students in the cSTAC program aspire to be writers, reviewers, educators, curators, managers or administrators for cultural institutions like museums, arts centres, galleries or cultural associations. They may work in the public sector on arts policy or programming for cultural agencies or for municipal, provincial or federal governments. They may run or contribute to theatre companies, arts festivals, exhibition or presentation centres. They can be involved in arts businesses like galleries, magazines or consultancies. The cSTAC program is also an excellent foundation for further study in Master of Arts programs in Digital Communities, Art History, Curatorial Studies, and Studies in Comparative Literatures and Arts.

What makes being a student at cSTAC different?

The Winter session of 2011 will see three remarkable guests visit the cSTAC course STAC 4P68 Arts, Heritage, and Culture:  Pat Bradley of the Ontario Arts Council, David Walden - Secretary General of the Canadian Commission to UNESCO, and Bob Sirman - CEO of the Canada Council, will speak with students about trends and challenges in cultural policy.
