The Fine Arts curriculum is designed with your interests and your future career goals in mind. You’ll receive a balance of foundational theory and dive into the history and techniques of your area of specialization. You will be able to concentrate in one of two areas:
Along with your concentration, you can further specialize in other artistic interests such as drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, or digital media.
At Marist, we believe that one of the best ways to connect with fine arts is to immerse yourself in the art, history, and technology of other cultures. Both our degrees in Fine Arts—Art History and Studio Art—are offered at our branch campus in Florence, Italy. Our Florence campus, as well as our other 70+ established study abroad locations, are available for short-term and semester abroad opportunities, and we offer a number of other four-year art degrees including Conservation Studies, Studio Art, and Interior Design.
Our newly renovated Steel Plant houses important, cutting-edge facilities for our Fine Arts students. The art studios are yours to use to learn, create, and practice. Our Fine Arts students also engage in hands-on gallery curation experiences, putting on exciting exhibitions with students and faculty in our art gallery.
