Myth: An arts education will limit your career options.

In a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program, you’ll focus on creating over lectures, honing your skills through hands-on experience to build a strong portfolio. Classes are concentrated in your art field, offering an intensive learning experience.

These are some of the skills you will gain in an arts program:

Adaptability:

As an artist or designer, you’ll learn to explore various methods to achieve your creative goals, which teaches you to be flexible and open to different ideas.

Creative Thinking:

Thinking creatively is crucial, not just in art, but in any career. It helps you stand out and solve problems in unique ways, which is highly valued by employers.

Communication:

Developing your artistic voice enhances your ability to express ideas clearly and confidently, making it easier to connect with people.

Real World Experience:

Classes at PNCA are based more on hands-on education than on lectures, giving students the opportunity to learn how to use the materials and technology they will use in the real world.

Teamwork:

Collaboration is a big part of the culture at PNCA, helping you learn to work with others, compromise, and share your ideas in a variety of settings.

Truth: An arts education equips you with diverse skills for various career paths.
