Parsons Fine Arts MFA is a dynamic two-year, cross-disciplinary program. We foster studio-based research and scholarship that extends the boundaries of contemporary cultural expression, developed through a global understanding of the arts. Parsons Fine Arts is committed to diversity among students and faculty that provides a potent learning community.  Housed within both Parsons School of Design and The New School University, the Fine Arts program is uniquely positioned within a progressive educational environment. Our international student body has access to a wide spectrum of activities, ranging from rigorous formal and aesthetic investigations to cross-disciplinary collaborations with design, performing arts and humanities students, to public forums that address pressing social and political concerns.To learn more about the program, please contact interim Program Director, Anthony Aziz: aziza@newschool.edu.

The BFA program in Fine Arts exposes students to a wide variety of studio practices, ideas, communities and global relationships that make up the world of contemporary art. Students begin by learning traditional techniques in painting, drawing, sculpture and the video, while innovating and pushing the boundaries of what contemporary art can be. While experimenting with public engagement, video, animation, photography and digital imaging, they also cultivate the intellectual, conceptual, and critical thinking required to successfully launch their careers as professional artists.To learn more about the program, please contact Director of the BFA Program, Rit Premnath: rit.premnath@newschool.edu.
