About the Institution
Founded in 1873, and celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2023, Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt), is the nation’s first
and only independent, free-standing public college of art and design. MassArt is an inclusive community of thinkers, doers, makers,
educators, innovators, and leaders striving to shape the future through art and design. They’ve spent 150 years demonstrating the truly
amazing things that happen when a world-class art and design education is an option for every deserving student. Located in Boston’s hub of
arts and culture along the Avenue of the Arts, MassArt enrolls 2,000 students and offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate
degrees in 18 disciplines, as well as continuing education and youth programs.
MassArt prepares artists, designers, and educators
from diverse backgrounds to shape communities, economies, and cultures for the common good. MassArt provides state-of-the art facilities and
studios housed in nine buildings along Huntington Avenue in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, close by the Museum of Fine Arts and the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The college offers twenty-two areas of concentration in fine arts, design and art education, and awards one
undergraduate degree, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, and graduate degrees including the Master of Fine Arts, the Master of Art in Teaching,
Master of Education, Master of Design Innovation, and the Master of Architecture. The college also offers certificate programs in

environment that is welcoming to persons of all backgrounds, nationalities, and roles.
The College is NECHE (New England Commission

Fenway, a collaboration of five neighboring Boston-based colleges in the Fenway area representing more than 12,000 undergraduate students

Living in the Area
With a population of nearly 700,000, Boston, MA has been called the “Athens of America” and is
widely viewed as the intellectual and historic capital of the United States. It is a cosmopolitan city with a complete set of services, a
wide range of amenities, and rich tradition and culture. With a modern, attractive, and completely walkable downtown, Boston is dotted with
Revolutionary period historic sites along the Freedom Trail and preserved old streetscapes mixed in with modern commercial office
buildings.
The surrounding suburbs offer an excellent and well used commuter rail system. Each neighborhood has its own little town
center that is functional, accessible by the rail system, and filled with local businesses. Arts and culture amenities in downtown Boston
and the entire surrounding area are exceptional, and most, like the Boston Pops and the Museum of Fine Arts, are well known beyond the city
limits. Boston’s professional sports, from baseball to ice hockey, are well loved and respected nationally. Education, at all levels,
is outstanding in the Boston area. Area public schools are nationally recognized, and a driving reason people move to the area.
Additionally, the entire Boston Metro area is centrally located near everything the Northeast has to offer – skiing in New Hampshire,
beaches in Rhode Island, and trips to New York City are all only 2 to 3 hours away.
