MassArt’s Graduate Programs offer US News & World Report’s #1 rated MFA in Massachusetts and one of the top 25 programs in the country. MassArt’s campus in downtown Boston offers more than 1,000,000 square feet of studios, workshops and galleries within walking distance of three world-class museums

MassArt has a long heritage of excellence, as well as an extremely  selective  admissions  process. We are proud of our world-class faculty and visiting artists and our state-of­ the-art facilities. The opportunity  to work and create in a diverse community of innovative, hard-working artists, designers, and educators fosters a learning environment that encourages multidisci­ plinary practice and dialogue-a central value of the graduate programs at MassArt. This belief, shared across programs, creates a supportive space in which students can fully develop their vision. In addition to coursework within their studio concentrations, all graduate students take critical theory coursework with both a historical and a contemporary  focus. These courses use the art and design communities of Boston and beyond as the venues for classroom exploration.

Founded in 1873, MassArt was the first degree-granting college of art in the nation and remains unique today as the only free-standing, publicly funded college of art in the United States. MassArt has a long heritage of excellence as well as an extremely selective admissions process. We are proud of our world-class faculty and visiting artists, our state-of-the-art facilities, and our 1,000,000 square feet of studio, classroom, and exhibition space. MassArt is a supportive home to a diverse community of innovative, hard-working artists. We invite you to consider joining us and contributing to this inspiring and vibrant environment.
