Studio Art Programs in New York

Studio Art is a practice-based degree built around making work in painting, sculpture, print, or digital media. Earnings one year out are among the lowest of any major, and portfolios matter more than medians for this path.

Programs below are ranked only when a college figure rests on at least 100 graduates. Programs on 30 to 99 graduates carry a small-program flag and are listed, not ranked. Anything smaller shows the national median for the major, badged as such.
