Visual Arts Program

The Visual Arts Program at Fordham

Visual Arts is a program in the Department of Theatre and Visual Arts

In small classes taught by dedicated, award-winning professionals, you will develop your creativity and navigate today's visually-oriented world and job markets. Thinking about a career in the arts? The Visual Arts program will provide you with the technical skills and critical and historical understanding you’ll need to enter the field. We offer courses in six areas of study—painting and drawing, graphic design, film and video, photography, art and engagement and the built environment.

You will master your chosen discipline through practice as well as by studying its social, historical, and ethical contexts. Through a combination of a studio and visual arts curriculum, our students are prepared to take their places as productive and engaged citizens.

Program Highlights

Both social and cultural engagement and professional exposure are integral parts of our curriculum. In addition to museum and gallery tours, guest artist lectures, film screenings, and visits to artists' studios, visual arts students have opportunities in the following program highlights:

Areas of Study

You may study in professional studios in Lincoln Center's Visual Arts Complex or on the Rose Hill campus in a beautiful sky-lit studio space with terrazzo floors. Both locations are equipped with state-of-the-art computer labs; these facilities are accessible for your use when classes are not in session.
