A Parent's Perspective
 
My daughter's experience at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts has played a critical role in her development. She has produced a portfolio that clearly demonstrates extraordinary growth and maturation, both as a fine artist and as young adult. She can be fiercely independent and [the] School provided her with the necessary balance between expressing this through her art and working with others in a collaborative manner. These skills will last a lifetime.

As a parent, I was concerned with whether she would acquire a truly liberal arts education, or would academics play a minimal role in her education as a fine artist. Clearly, the Tufts affiliation more than addressed these concerns. Because of this affiliation, and most importantly her hard work, nurtured by [the] faculty, she applied to graduate schools in art therapy at George Washington, Lesley College, and New York University. She was admitted to all three and will begin classes this fall at New York University where she will pursue a Masters in Art Therapy.
