POST-BACCALAUREATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM (PBC) IN FINE ARTS
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program (PBC) in Fine Arts is designed for artists who have earned the BFA or BA degree, yet would benefit from a concentrated immersion in a highly-supportive yet critical academic/studio environment. Applicants to the PBC may wish to develop their artwork for application to graduate school/professional residency or to launch a professional career.

- delivery of a formal “sources” presentation midway through the year.
