GraTHE GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Massachusetts College of Art and Design, a public university in the state system, is ranked among the top art colleges in the country.  The university offers graduate degrees in eleven areas.  

As a publicly funded school MassArt is able to offer a highly-ranked program with tuition that is substantially less than privately funded schools, contributing to the vibrancy and diversity of the creative community.  

Businessweek magazine recognized MassArt as one of the top global design schools and US News& World Report ranks MassArt’s MFA Program #1 in Massachusetts. 

MassArt's 1700 undergraduate and 200 graduate students come from 34 countries, reflecting the international reputation of our programs and Boston’s place as one of the great learning and research centers in the world with 60 colleges and 250,000 students.

Our urban campus offers 1,000,000 feet of studios, workshops, classrooms and galleries in downtown Boston.  MassArt is also at the center of a world-class fine arts triangle, next door to the new Renzo Piano-designed modern wing of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, around the corner from the encyclopedic collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, and a short distance from the Institute of Contemporary Art and dozens of galleries.

The founding of MassArt in 1873 was a radical act, creating the first degree-granting college of art in the country. Today we remain unique as the only free-standing public college of art and design in the US.
