Established in 1873, Massachusetts College of Art is a four-year independent public college of art located at the heart of Boston's Fenway cultural district. It was the first college in the nation to grant an art degree.
The college offers a high-quality professional arts education, together with a strong general education in the liberal arts. It offers a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts, a Master of Science in Art Education, a Master of Fine Arts, or a Master of Architecture degree.
Students have the option of majoring in fine arts, communication design, environmental design, media and performing arts, and art education. Within those majors, they can choose to focus on disciplines such as industrial design, art history, fashion design, architectural design, graphic design, illustration, animation, painting, printmaking, ceramics, glass, sculpture, fibers, metals, photography, and film or video.
MassArt's curriculum includes a foundation year, which provides compulsory exposure to the basics of 2D and 3D art and design and requires an elective studio and multiple critical studies courses.
The school aims to challenge students to develop their talents to their highest potential, questioning the traditional boundaries of disciplines and embracing new technologies as opportunities to advance the creative potential of their classes.
MassArt students have free admission to the Museum of Fine Arts, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Danforth Museum of Art—some of which are within walking distance of the campus.
MassArt's campus is located in the Fenway area, which offers students numerous opportunities for fun and entertainment as well as cultural possibilities. Public transportation to the city is steps away from the school.
