Part-time and Continuing Studies

Part-time Study

Lyme Academy College offers a unique opportunity for individuals with previous art experience to register for credit courses within our BFA program and study with our renowned BFA Faculty.  A portfolio review is needed to determine appropriate placement within the program. Students register as non-matriculating students and may take the BFA classes for credit or without credit.

 

Continuing Studies

The Continuing Studies Program is specially designed for students who choose art instruction through our non-credit courses and workshops or who have just begun to explore the visual arts and seek fundamental fine arts skills in a collegiate environment. Evening and Saturday classes are available at our art college.

 

Pre-College

Our Pre-College Program features the Fundamentals of Art series and comprises seven non-credit courses based on Lyme Academy Art College's unique BFA Foundation program. The Fundamentals of Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking are each taught as 30 hour, non-credit courses and are available Fall, Spring and Summer for both teens and adults.  

How can I take classes?

  • Our BFA classes are scheduled on weekdays and nights in the Fall and Spring and run for 15 weeks. Credit courses are also available in the Summer.

  • Non-credit classes are normally offered for 10 weeks in the Fall and Spring, usually at night. Some weekday and Saturday classes may be offered each year.  Non-credit courses are also available in the Summer.

  • If you are an adult beginner or a high school art student we recommend the Fundamental of Art series to introduce new skills or to take existing skills to the next level.

  • Note: Part-time non-matriculated students in the BFA program must complete pre-requisites for each course before moving to the next level.

 

Many students who come to know Lyme Academy College through the offerings of Continuing Studies
later choose to apply for a Certificate, BFA degree or Post Baccalaureate degree program.
Lyme Academy College has a long tradition of welcoming and nurturing the non-traditional aged student.
