The SUArt Galleries provide the major setting for your education and training, and you gain further experience through required internships. Our students work at a broad range of institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of the American Indian, the National Gallery of Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Faculty and staff organize field trips to museums and conferences and bring professionals to campus to meet with you and your fellow students. Because you are part of Syracuse University, you also have the opportunity to study in other fields. A significant number of our students pursue concurrent degrees in such fields as art history, anthropology, and museum studies.

In conjunction with SU's iSchool and Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the College of Visual and Performing Arts and museum studies also offers an interdisciplinary certificate of advanced study (C.A.S.) in cultural heritage preservation. This 15-credit  hour, graduate-level certificate is designed for students currently pursuing another graduate degree or as post-baccalaureate work. Recipients of the certificate are provided with an interdisciplinary grounding in the preservation of cultural heritage. The program is intended to prepare students to work with organizations such as libraries, museums, national parks, and state and local agencies in preserving cultural resources.
