Facilities & Resources
Our Department in Rankin houses many art facilities: state-of-the-art Mac Graphic Arts lab, painting and drawing studio, sculpture studio, music studio, photography shooting as well as darkroom developing studios, piano practice rooms as well as art history “smart classrooms”Our greatest resource is the artistic capital of the United States (maybe of the world): New York City. It’s only a short 15 minute PATH train ride away to its center. The number of museums, art galleries, theatres, musical venues in Manhattan as well as here and near us in New Jersey is unmatched anywhere else. If you want to study art, become an artist or work in any of the graphic arts, there is no better place to be.
Many of our students join the International Arts Honor Society, Kappa Pi.
