Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts
The Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts program offers students the opportunity to expand and diversify their knowledge of contemporary art practices. This degree is for students who are excited about developing and articulating self-reflective practices as artists—and as citizens.
At New Paltz, you'll collaborate and engage with local and global communities to build your professional networks and support lifelong, sustainable art practices. Our location in the heart of New York's historic Hudson Valley uniquely enhances the student experience: As the original home of the 19th-century Hudson River School of Painting, the region continues to be an active cultural hub, and our proximity to New York City opens up a wide range of artistic and educational opportunities for students.
