Introduction
The curriculum of this program is intentionally flexible so it
may be individually designed to meet the specific needs of each
enrollee in the Post Baccalaureate Program within the purview of the
College’s mission. It combines some formal aspects of an advanced
undergraduate program in terms of techniques and basics, with an
independent studio/critique program on a graduate level that fosters
individual development and research. Liberal Arts seminars in
historical and contemporary studies, designed to broaden personal
vision and concept development, are available both semesters.
Post-Baccalaureate candidates have access to their own on-campus
studio space in the college's Senior Studios.
Purpose of Program
The program will provide recent BFA, or BA or BS graduates of
colleges and universities a one-year (or, a two-year maximum)
intensive program designed to assure advanced studio competency
in the traditional fine arts disciplines, to help them prepare
the strongest possible portfolios and develop a clear personal
direction so they are competitive as self-directed independent
fine artists.

Program Description
The program consists of 30 credits beyond a baccalaureate degree.
The essence of the program is studio practice, with the catalyst
for that studio practice being the critique. Once admitted to
the Program, each candidate will meet with an assigned faculty
advisor. They will jointly design a course of study that is
specifically and individually formulated to address the student’s
strengths and weaknesses. Liberal Arts
seminars offer intellectual and analytical content, and skills
to the educational experience.
