Student-to-faculty ratio in the BFA program
Academics
Faculty
MassArt faculty inspire students to go beyond their academic and creative limits—and support them every step of the way.
Across campus, MassArt students learn from talented faculty who introduce them to new ideas, mediums, and art-making techniques. Providing one-on-one guidance and valuable mentorship, our renowned educators help students make the most of the College’s far-reaching curriculum. They also give students the tools to form their own opinions and approach problems from unique perspectives. Through thoughtful discussions and individualized support, our faculty cultivate close connections with students, in and out of the classroom. And, they help foster a collaborative learning environment where each artist is encouraged to ask questions, pursue their ideas, and take an active role in shaping their learning.
I’ve never met such a supportive group of peers and professors. Everyone here just wants to succeed and get through the homestretch.Anhkim Dang ’22 BFA Animation
