New York University

Located in the Heart of Downtown New York, NYU Steinhardt's Department of Art and Art Professions is shaped by the intensity and innovation of the international art world. A home for artists, who are celebrated for their dedication, creativity, and skill in exploring unconventional ideas, New York City has long been a place where art truly matters.

The city’s galleries, museums, schools, studios and performance spaces, from Chelsea to Brooklyn and the Lower East Side, are an integral part of our department, as are the university’s vast intellectual and academic resources. New York University is one of the nation’s leading research universities, with 48,000 students enrolled in 14 colleges, schools, and divisions. NYU is ideally situated to bring together the world’s most accomplished artists, performers, and musicians, with computer programmers, scientists, theorists, and philosophers to explore the frontiers of creative practice.

Information For  Undergraduates
The Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed for undergraduate students who want to combine intensive and innovative studio art practice with an outstanding education in the liberal arts. A thorough grounding in art history and critical theory helps students explore issues in their own work and that of others. Studio courses in a wide variety of disciplines mix the rich visual traditions of the past with emerging forms and ideas. Interdisciplinary classes, which integrate modern and postmodern approaches with experimental artistic practices, encourage students to envision fresh new ways of making art.

The NYU program allows students to participate directly in the evolution of contemporary culture, viewing exciting exhibitions, important lectures and live performances as they happen. Because the program offers the vast academic resources of a major research university as well as a studio faculty of accomplished professional artists, students are prepared for meaningful careers in the arts, while being exposed to a rich cultural environment that far exceeds the scope of more narrowly defined art programs.
