Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Bookmark and Share


Sometimes four years isn't enough to pursue your ideas to their outermost limits, to incorporate materials you haven't yet considered, or to explore images you've embraced. Museum School has a solution: the one-year Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program.

The Post-Baccalaureate program offers an intensive year of studio art study and practice, closely advised and supported by SMFA faculty. Post-Baccalaureate students actively engage the contemporary art world through field trips and dialogue with visiting artists. They learn and work together in a close-knit group of peers. They take their art to higher levels in preparation for advanced study and a career in the arts.

Post-Baccalaureate students have the option of continuing their studies in the SMFA's Studio Program, entering at the fourth-year level. Others go on to graduate programs in fine arts, while others set up their studios for independent practice in the arts.
