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.
