Join our community of artists and designers. The Sam Fox School offers three primary degree paths in the College of Art: studio art, communication design, and fashion design. You can earn a degree with a deep studio focus, or one with a broader liberal arts orientation. Whether you want to publish illustrated books, create sculptural installations, design for public health initiatives, launch your own fashion line, produce aerial drone videos, or make interactive websites, you can forge an educational path to get there.
STUDIO CULTURE

Studio is a place for collaboration and creative development. Our students are bright and driven, but also supportive of one another and engaged with social issues and the community. You will learn to make original visual work with technical and conceptual depth, working with faculty who are recognized in their fields, nationally and internationally.
We have expansive, state-of-theart spaces for digital fabrication, woodworking, metalworking, textile design, photography, and video, as well as an integrated printmaking + book arts studio.

Sam Fox School students are uniquely innovative, entrepreneurial, and engaged, and find rewarding careers to match. Many become prominent artists and designers. Some, harnessing the creative thinking they learn, go on to diverse professions in business, law, medicine, publishing, and writing.
We offer semester and summer programs in Florence, Italy, where studio work is complemented by courses in Italian language and Renaissance art and architectural history, along with field trips around the region and Europe.
