The Visual Arts Department provides both disciplinary focus and an environment for interdisciplinary exploration, as well as access to the rich intellectual resources of a major research institution. The department offers MFA, BFA, and BA degrees in Visual Arts with undergraduate concentrations in Design, Drawing, Media, Painting, Photography, Print, and Sculpture. Low student-to-faculty ratios provide opportunities for engagement with a faculty of practicing artists. The school’s classrooms, digital labs, darkrooms, studios and galleries are in New Brunswick, a cultural center less than an hour from New York City. Proximity to the museums and galleries of New York and Philadelphia profoundly affects the exchange of ideas within the Mason Gross School by exposing students to historical and contemporary works of art and by attracting world-class faculty and visiting artists.
