Academics

The Corcoran School inspires students to create art with the potential to shape and influence the arts community and the world. Located in the heart of Washington, D.C., we are part of a research university that offers the extraordinary advantage of using the rich tapestry of architecture, culture and dynamic visual and performing arts scene to spark imaginations. As a result, graduates gain unprecedented access to critical networking and job opportunities and are regularly exposed to the vast collection of national treasures.

We prepare our graduates for the creative economy. Our faculty are engaged, practicing artists and our students are forward thinkers who are already making an impact on our community. With all of this, and more, our undergraduate and graduate students are prepared for whatever exciting career they decide to take on after graduation.
