About the course

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is home to the second largest collection of art in North America. All SMFA students have free access to the museum, located next door to our main building. During your time here, you?ll engage with the MFA again and again, studying works that have changed the course of art history while working with a respected community of arts professionals, from curators and historians to visiting artists and conservators.SMFA students and alumni exhibit their work in the Museum each year during shows specifically designed to feature the SMFA community. The Museum also offers several student employment positions and internships, which provide a chance for you to gain invaluable experience working alongside leading curators and conservators. Explore freely. Challenge convention. Think critically about the role of the artist in society. Without the constraints of traditional majors or a rigid curriculum, our BFA program provides lots of space to experiment and explore. You choose the coursework, faculty, and facilities that interest you and support your artistic development. Build a personally and intellectually rewarding course of study that fosters technical skills and critical thinking, and immerses you in a supportive, collaborative creative community.Art school is an exciting opportunity to explore like never before?and we?re here to support you every step of the way. Before your first semester begins, you?ll meet with an academic advisor to begin thinking about your creative goals and how SMFA will help you reach them. Together, you?ll assemble a first-year curriculum that allows you to explore new mediums for the first time and dive deeper into areas you already love. You?ll also build important foundational skills through courses in art criticism and theory. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
