Overview

Students in the Art programme from The City University of New York are required to select an area of specialization from either painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, or digital media. They must earn 12 credits in their area of specialization, 6 credits in elective courses, and 9 credits in Art History.

Students are encouraged to distribute their first 18 credits toward the M.A. degree evenly from among three areas:

their area of specialization (6 credits);
electives outside of area of specialization (6 credits);
and art history (6 credits).

After a student has completed the first 18 credits in the program, the Art Department will conduct a review of the work and determine the student's ability to continue in the M.A. program.
