Kwantlen Polytechnic University
| KPU was formed in 1981, after separating from Douglas College. The university then took over the campus south of the Fraser River, where KPU continues to be present today. |
| In 1995, the institution became a degree-granting university college, and in 2008 became a polytechnic university |
| Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts (All intakes for this program have been postponed indefinitely) | The Bachelor of Music in Musical Arts degree is a fusion of Western art music traditions with contemporary music practices. In addition to private lessons, music theory and history, aural musicianship and keyboard skills, and ensemble experience, practical courses such as Music Video Production, the Business of Music, Approaches to Music Education, and Psychophysiology of Music Performance, give this program an experiential dimension rarely found in traditional music programs. The program fosters students’ creativity and versatility, equipping them to adapt to changing market demands and to apply learned theory and practice in a variety of cultural and service sectors. |
| Diploma in Music* (All intakes for this program have been postponed indefinitely) | The Diplomas in Music are two-year, four-semester programs. Each concentration is designed to help students develop their abilities in both academic and applied studies. All students receive four semesters of private instruction on their chosen instrument and participate in a large ensemble each semester. The core curriculum is augmented by electives chosen by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor. |
| Music Courses for Non-Music Students | In general, all MUSI courses are restricted to Music program students |
