Precollege & Continuing Studies

Precollege &
Continuing Studies

An artist is curious. An artist wants to discover. An artist needs to explore.

Our classes give you the chance to do all three. If you want to advance your career, hone a skill or want to take a class for pure enjoyment, we offer both certificate programs and non-degree courses. And you don’t have to be a full-time student to take them.

So start exploring your curiosities here. Photography. Fashion design. Animation. The opportunities are endless.
