The Faculty of Arts at UBC has embarked on an ambitious second century. This plan sets out our faculty’s goals and strategies, and identifies new opportunities for research excellence, transformative learning, local and global engagement, and collaboration.

Our students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community partners participated in developing the university-wide plan — Shaping UBC’s Next Century — which informs and complements our faculty plan.

Our Commitment
We are dedicated to making the Faculty of Arts the top Arts faculty in Canada and within the top 20 in the world over the next 10 years.
Our Responsibility
We recognize our responsibility to our students and the people of BC to provide high-quality, high-impact, and accessible education.
Our Impact
An Arts degree remains the best passport to career flexibility and is a powerful tool in the life-readiness of our students.
