The Department offers graduate degrees in Studio Art, Art Education, Art Therapy, Visual Arts Administration, and Visual Culture with concentrations in Costume Studies and Folk Art Studies. Undergraduate programs are offered in Studio Art and Art Education. A major goal of the department is to provide a stimulating educational environment where individuals with diverse artistic concerns can meet. Such an environment mirrors the pluralistic, international nature of the contemporary New York art community and allows for the exchange of different perspectives at the center of the art world. The Department's Visiting Artist Lecture Series serves as a forum for discussing contemporary issues in the visual arts and is meant to interface with the student's studio work, exposing them to the ideas and experiences of professional artists and critics.
