All courses may be taken for two academic credits:

• Undergraduate Credit (two credits per course): Workshop fee + $410
• Graduate Credit (two credits per course): Workshop fee + $550

Students seeking credit for career enhancement or reimbursement are urged to contact their home institutions to arrange prior approval. Course credit is not automatically transferable to Massachusetts College of Art and Design or other degree programs; policies on transfer credit vary by institution and by program, so it is important to seek the approval of your advisor before you register. Registration for credit must occur before the class begins.

A letter of attendance is sent to all MassArt New England participants. If you are registered for credit, you can request a transcript in early September, and a transcript may be requested at any time in the future. MassArt studio art grades are P (pass) or NC (no credit). A transcript key will be sent along with your transcript.

MassArt New England is located on the MassArt campus, 621 Huntington Avenue, Boston.

Ninety percent of participants choose to stay on campus. The dorm rooms are in air conditioned suites with simply furnished rooms: a bed (linens are provided) and desk.

No, you will certainly not be the oldest person there. The average MassArt New England participant is between 35 and 50, with some people in their early 20s (often between undergraduate and graduate school) and some people well into senior years.

If someone drops, we will call the first person on the list and ask them to let us know (within 48 hours) if they want the class. If that person does not want it we will continue down the list. Putting your name on a waiting list does not obligate you to take the class if a space becomes available.

A letter of attendance is sent to all MassArt New England participants for this purpose. If you are registered for credit you can request a transcript in early September, and a transcript may be requested at any time in the future. MassArt studio art grades are P (pass) or NC (no credit). A transcript key will be sent along with your transcript.
