Carnegie Mellon School of Art – #7 Art Schools in Jerry’s Top 10

#7 Carnegie Mellon School of Fine Art

 Jerry’s Artarama has always supported art education and so this year we wanted to show our support of some of the finest in higher art education available in the United States by honoring some of the best schools in our list of the 10 Best Art Schools in the Country.

Coming it at 7 on our list is Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Fine Art.


Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Art is often highly ranked for top art schools being #1 in Art and Design Multimedia programs and #7 in Fine Art programs by US News & World Report. The school pretty heavily pushes for an interdisciplinary education between art and technology over classical studies to better prepare its students for the ever-changing job market and global culture.

Classes at the School of Art foster hybrid forms of art as well as pushing boundaries between art forms and working creatively.  Students at CMU are constantly contributing to both CMU’s and Pittsburgh’s Art scene and creative community.

The Breakdown
