Overview of School of the Museum of Fine Arts-Boston

Mission Statement

The mission of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is to provide an education in the fine arts for undergraduate and graduate artists—inexperienced and advanced artists of widely ranging age groupings—that is interdisciplinary, self-directed, always evolving.

It has special features: it values cultural, artistic, and intellectual diversity; it must include a wide range of media; it stresses the development of individual vision; it values art making more than adherence to curricular rules; it stays deeply in touch with the external world of art. If the mission is constant, its practice is always emerging.

    It was really hard for me to get the classes I wanted. I tried to get into Photo I for three semesters and gave up. Also it was almost impossible to get a studio. It's fun at the school during the day, but after 5 pm when classes end everyone goes their own way. There are very few activities going on for students. They really need to improve their student activities department. At my new school we have activities every day. Also, there are only a few dorm spaces and only dorms for freshmen. A lot of freshmen were lonely. My roommate also transferred.
