About Us

Welcome to LaSalle College Vancouver

LaSalle College Vancouver has a rich history intertwined with the city.

Our journey began in 2017 with the acquisition of the Art Institute of Vancouver, born in 1979 as the Centre for Digital Imaging and Sound (CDIS). This union expanded to include the International Culinary School, previously known as the Dubrulle International Culinary & Hotel Institute of Vancouver since 2010.

Today, LaSalle College Vancouver is a creative hub dedicated to career-driven education, part of LCI Education. With more than 30 programs, the institution is a place where creativity runs free.

LaSalle College Vancouver's fusion of local expertise and an international network of higher-education institutions aims to democratize high-quality creative and applied arts education worldwide. LaSalle College Vancouver delivers programs with credentials ranging from bachelor’s degrees, diplomas and certificates and has been consistently named the top undergraduate school in Canada for video game design by the Princeton Review.
