Pennsylvania College of Art & Design’s graduates are strong thinkers, strong makers, strong communicators. Of the 96 percent of the Class of 2011 who responded to a placement survey, 90 percent are employed or in graduate school, and the loan default rate of all our graduates is among the lowest around (2.8 percent).Pennsylvania College of Art & Design offers four-year Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, Fine Art, and Photography. All studio faculty members in the BFA degree and continuing education programs are professional, working artists and designers, and the BFA student to faculty ratio is 9:1.Located in state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of a thriving downtown Lancaster, PCA&D offers personalized instruction and a rigorous and innovative curriculum that truly prepares graduates for a life in art and design. A professional internship is required prior to graduation and the balance of 65% studio course work to 35% liberal arts course work ensures professional preparation by each graduate.For life-long learners, we offer credit and non-credit courses, certificate programs, and workshops and classes for teens and youth as part of our continuing education program.In fact, PCA&D is one of the few non-profit, private art and design colleges in the U.S. that is located in a city of less than 1 million (Lancaster city and county combined total about half a million). This speaks to the unique role of PCA&D in this region, and speaks of its success in providing what the region wants and needs in visual arts education.
