Join our community of artists and designers.

The Sam Fox School offers three primary degree paths: studio art, communication design, and fashion design. You can earn a degree with a deep studio focus, or one with a broader liberal arts orientation. Whether you want to publish illustrated books, create sculptural installations, design for public health initiatives, launch your own fashion line, produce aerial drone videos, or make interactive websites, you can forge an educational path to pursue a career in any field you choose.

STUDIO CULTURE

Studio is a place for collaboration and creative development. Our students are bright and driven, but they are also incredibly supportive of one another and engaged with social issues and the community. You will learn to make exceptional visual work with technical and conceptual depth, working with faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized in their fields.

CAREERS

Sam Fox School students are uniquely innovative, entrepreneurial, and engaged, and they find rewarding careers that match their vast ambitions. Many of our alumni become prominent artists and designers, but they also go on to diverse professions in business, law, medicine, public health, publishing, and writing.

We have expansive spaces for digital fabrication, woodworking and metalworking, textiles, and photography & video, as well as an integrated printmaking + book arts studio. Juniors and seniors have their own individual studio spaces. The School is also home to the world-class Kemper Art Museum and the Kranzberg Art & Architecture Library.

We offer semester and summer programs in Florence, Italy, where studio work is complemented by courses in Italian language and Renaissance art and architecture history, along with field trips around the region and Europe.
