The Art Museum is complemented by a strong print library and film and video collection. The Art Resource student organization and the student-led Visual Artist Series give students the opportunity and professional experience to select and host renowned artists, critics, and art historians. Student trips to cities such as New York, Montreal, and Ottawa provide firsthand experience with works of art. Plattsburgh's art majors enhance their professional development through internships, study abroad, and the Studio Semester in New York City. The Studio Semester is a program of studio work, internships, and apprenticeships with prominent New York city artists, critics, galleries, and companies.
Internships exist both on and off campus.
In addition, some students study abroad, especially in England and Italy. Several scholarships are available annually, particularly the George and Nina Winkel art scholarships. Scholarships are available for incoming freshmen, and for sophomore, junior, and senior students. Portfolios are required for scholarship application.
