    The University of New Brunswick started a Bachelor of Applied Arts
    program (http://www.unbf.ca/arts/departments/applied_arts.html) in
    conjunction with the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design
    (http://www.nbccd.ca/baa.asp). I took a science and humanities
    stream at the University and stayed on for the third year of Metal
    Art/Jewellery even though the credits did not apply to my degree. 

    Cost was the same as any Canadian University degree. Bridgette
    Clavette taught my first year, Ken Valen my second and Patrick Perry
    my third year. All of them were top notch, Bridgette emphasized
    creative, Ken production and craft and Patrick a weird combination
    of the two, demanding ghigh quality design before he would sign off
    on a project and you could commence and not excepting anything but
    the highest level of craftmanship, helping you re-learn any skill
    that is stopping you from attaining this standard (I remember a
    arduous retraining for us all in polishing techniques so we could
    achieve the mirror finish he demanded). 

Hope that helps,
