Students earn college credit or can audit courses.
PCE schedules most courses for the fall and spring semesters in the evening and generally meet one evening per week. The summer schedule reflects a balance of day and evening courses. Approximately 3,000 students take these courses each year. Their backgrounds range widely in terms of pervious artistic experience, personal and career goals, and age. Common to all is a love of the visual arts and a desire to study in a professional art school with access to excellent studio facilities and faculty.
