BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS
SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN
In a hands-on studio environment with working artists as your teachers and New York City as your extended campus, you will explore a wide range of creative possibilities, from traditional media to 3D design and multimedia. The AAS program provides a rich foundation in the fine arts. You’ll study figurative and abstract painting, basic and life drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and 2D and 3D design. The BFA curriculum provides further instruction in skills and technique, while challenging you to develop conceptually mature work that expresses an individual, identifiable voice. In the final semester, an internship program in an art-related setting is offered along with a senior thesis project in sculpture or painting.
