$1,000 Paid Internship for Every Student in Every Major

I love interacting with other students at Moore. I love our community and I truly have found my home here. I love being in the studios, chatting with other people outside of the classroom, and seeing what everyone’s working on and inspired by. I get inspired by other students and it makes me want to keep working on my own projects."

No Limits to Learning: Get Your MA in Art Education with an Emphasis in Inclusive Practices

Moore’s emphasis on special populations is so valuable and incredibly important, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get an education remotely similar if I went somewhere else. I valued the freedom and encouragement to study and experience what I felt was important to me. Before I was even done with my student teaching, I was offered a job at a K–12 special populations school. My education at Moore set me up for that success.”

Get a Head Start on Art School with the Summer Art & Design Institute (SADI)

My favorite part of SADI was the sense of community and respect everyone was able to develop. It was cool to watch people make friends, grow into their own, get more comfortable with themselves.”

Flexible Course Options and Certificate Programs to Suit Your Needs

I feel very comfortable using the programs we learned. I especially appreciated the way assignments built on themselves, so that we revisited skills learned in previous classes. I feel confident that I will retain everything because of that.”
