The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (also known as the Museum School or SMFA) is an undergraduate and graduate college located in Boston, dedicated to the visual arts. It is affiliated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and part of Tufts University's School of Arts and Sciences. It offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
The school grants Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Fine Arts, and Master of Arts in Teaching certificates for students with non-art degrees, as well as studio diploma certificate programs for non-degree students focusing on studio art.
The mission of the school is to provide an education in fine arts that is interdisciplinary and self-directed. This education values cultural, artistic, and intellectual diversity; it embraces a wide range of media; it stresses the development of individual vision and its relation to culture in general; and it values equally the knowledge gained by thinking and doing.
The school is located next to the MFA in the Fenway area of Boston. It is surrounded by an abundance of cultural offerings and is within walking distance of many local recreational and entertainment choices. The Green Line light rail connects the college with the city of Boston.
