What Students Are Saying

the type of classes offered here range from the arts (like art history and acting classes) to business (like economics and management classes). the advisers all try to help the students under their care and answer any questions they may have.
Rondell from New york, NY
The classes are great, the professors really try to teach you everything you could possibly learn in one semester. Challenging classes that take you to a whole other level. If you start out a novice in the subject of the class you are taking, you will be a pro by the time finals come. Great learning but you have to try, if you think just because it's an art school that the classes will be easy, you better think again. The professor expect the most from their students and students expect to get the most out of their class experience.
Andrea from Carmel, NY
there are so many courses offered, and each professor cares about teaching their students.
Dani from Mastic Beach, NY
Courses are challenging and enlightening. But not overbearing.
Michael from Paramus, NJ
This rating is coming from a conservatory point of view. The conservatories at purchase are professional training programs, and really prepare you to work in your field.
Marissa from Newington, CT
The journalism department has been outstanding in improving my writing and opening up internship opportunities. Across all areas of study, internships are encouraged and the Career Development Center is a great resource to get started. The faculty are all experienced in their field and bring their real-world expertise into the classroom.
