The days of “starving artists” are over.
The Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design is dedicated to preparing students for a wide range of creative careers. Primed with a broad liberal arts education, our graduates confidently take on careers in art, design, and much more.
No matter if you want the job with a corner office or a private studio, we’ll start you on the path to a career you love.
What’s great about this program is that you’re learning skills that are super-applicable to the real world. After graduation, I’ll be heading to a job at Crate & Barrel in Chicago, where I interned last summer. I would not have gotten the internship if it weren’t for all the relevant classes I took.
