The Museum School offers three distinct programs leading to the bachelor’s degree: the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education (BFA in Art Education), and the five-year Combined-Degree program (BA/BFA or BS/BFA). All bachelor’s degree programs are offered in partnership with Tufts University.

You may apply as a first-time student, a transfer student, or an international student.

Please note: Applicants to the SMFA/Northeastern University Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art program apply directly to Northeastern. There are a limited number of places available in the new SMFA/Northeastern joint degree program. If you are interested in studying at the SMFA, we encourage you to apply to both the Northeastern and Tufts joint degree programs.

For Northeastern application information, please contact the Northeastern Undergraduate Admissions Office at 617-373-2200 or admissions@neu.edu. For Tufts application information, choose your status from the navigation bar to the left.
