At the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, creativity is paired with professional preparation. Students refine their creative craft while gaining the technical, analytical, and business skills that power careers in art, architecture, design, fashion, and merchandising.
Graduates go on to work in galleries, agencies, retail organizations, corporate offices, and entrepreneurial ventures of their own. We’ll help you move from classroom to career with confidence.
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.
