Located in Boston’s Fenway cultural district, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA), is a unique institution, dedicated to educating artists and focused on fostering creative investigation, risk-taking, and individual vision. We do this by emphasizing studio practice and by offering students an unusual amount of freedom in their coursework.

We offer renowned undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs in addition to programs leading to the Diploma, the Fifth Year Certificate, and the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate. Our programs are enhanced by our close relationships with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the third largest fine arts museum in the nation (and our next door neighbor!), and with Tufts University.
