Montserrat College of Art

Montserrat College of Art, founded by working creative professionals, offers a unique educational experience designed to empower each student for personal and professional success. Here, students are integral members of a close-knit artistic family, enjoying an 8:1 student-teacher ratio that ensures personalized attention and mentorship with a faculty of practicing artists, designers, and scholars.

At Montserrat, students and their creative journey are always prioritized. The college is committed to nurturing and guiding students as they explore their artistic passions and refine their skills. Hence why it offers 12 concentrations and five minors that cater to diverse artistic interests, including two innovative additions: Games, Toys, and Play as well as Writing and Visual Narratives.

In the Games, Toys, and Play concentration, students explore gameplay, play theory, and prototyping, allowing them to design immersive experiences for various purposes, from entertainment to education. In Writing and Visual Narratives, students blend writing and art-making to bring their creative visions to life, spanning a range of mediums from graphic novels to scripted animated dramas.

What sets Montserrat apart is its dedication to preparing students for the real world. The college incorporates experience-based learning and professional practice into its curriculum from day one to prepare students for successful, meaningful careers in the arts upon graduation. Every student completes an internship during junior year, and more than half of those internships lead to job offers.

Such opportunities are made possible thanks to Montserrat’s Career Design Studio, which supports students and alumni throughout their four-year journey, helping them explore careers, set goals, gain industry insights, and receive practical guidance from industry professionals.
