USC Roski School of Fine Arts
The USC Gayle Garner Roski School of Fine Arts provides a well-balanced education in the creative, interpretive and critical processes essential to practicing art. In lectures, seminars, studio work and one-on-one meetings, faculty and students energetically challenge fixed notions of art and culture. The distinguished, dedicated faculty comprises leading artists and designers exhibiting in museums and galleries throughout the world. The school offers B.F.A. and B.A. degrees for undergraduate studies and master’s degrees in fine arts (M.F.A.) and public art studies (M.P.A.S.).
Each year the school attracts approximately 275 undergraduate majors, over 1,000 liberal arts students and 50 graduate students. The Master of Fine Arts program has become one of the most competitive in the nation. It boasts exceptional facilities for its students, including spacious individual studios, as well as an extraordinary lecture series and an annual student publication.
As a place to study art, Southern California is unparalleled with major museums such as the Getty Center, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Pacific Asia Museum, the Norton Simon Museum and the Hammer Museum. Los Angeles is also home to hundreds of commercial galleries and alternative spaces, many in close proximity to the campus, which are an integral aspect of the creative environment of the city. The overwhelming number of museums, galleries, advertising agencies, design firms, artist studios, and the music and film industries offer a wealth of internship and employment opportunities.
