SUNY Adirondack has developed a partnership with Russell Sage College in Troy to offer fine arts graduates seamless transfer to Russell Sage’s Art + Extended Media Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program.

“We are excited to add this collaboration with Russell Sage to SUNY Adirondack’s numerous articulation agreements with institutions throughout the Northeast, to create pathways for our students to complete a bachelor’s degree,” said Dr. Kristine D. Duffy, president of SUNY Adirondack.

This agreement begins in the fall.

Under the agreement, Russell Sage will accept up to 66 credits earned by a fine arts student at SUNY Adirondack. The student must earn a C-minus or better to qualify. Those who attain a grade point average of 3.0 are automatically admit- ted into the program.

Classes accepted within the agreement include general education requirements such as introduction to college writing and natural sciences, and fine arts-specific courses such as two-dimensional design, western art history and painting.

“We welcome the opportunity for our art students to continue their education at Russell Sage College,” said Dr. Renee O’Brien, professor of photography and chair of the Arts, Media and Culture division at SUNY Adirondack.

Russell Sage College is an undergraduate and graduate college with campuses in Albany and Troy. It was founded in 1916 and has a 10to-1 student-faculty ratio, 21 athletics teams, an enrollment of 2,159 students and more than 40,000 alumni.
