Update: Suspended Registration

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the ProArts Consortium Board has suspended cross-registration for the Fall 2020 semester. As a result, registration for courses at member ProArts institutions will not be available for MassArt students this fall semester.

The Professional Arts Consortium is an association of seven Boston-area colleges dedicated to the visual and performing arts: Berklee College of Music, Boston Architectural College, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Emerson College, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, New England Conservatory, and School of Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts.

The mission of ProArts is to cultivate collaborative programs and transformative projects that have the capacity to strengthen the educational purposes of its member institutions and to take a leadership role in promoting the vital and central value of the arts in Boston and beyond.

As a member of ProArts, MassArt students have access to resources including:

  • Cross-Registration: Take advantage of the wide variety of courses in which you, as an undergraduate student within the ProArts, are eligible to enroll
  • Libraries: ProArts provides students, faculty, and staff with access to all libraries of the member schools. Each library houses a unique selection of circulating and non-circulating materials.
