Department of Arts

In all the arts, we are invited to dream larger, love deeper, and create without fear.

At Saint Peter’s University, the Department of Arts is a vibrant, forward-thinking creative hub that prepares you to lead in today’s (and tomorrow’s) visual, digital, and performing arts landscape.

Located just minutes from Manhattan, we blend rigorous studio practice, cutting-edge digital innovation, and deep historical and cultural understanding with unparalleled access to the world’s greatest arts capital. Whether your passion is painting in a sunlit studio, designing the next breakthrough mobile app, shooting editorial photography, building immersive AR/VR experiences, branding global companies, curating exhibitions, performing with our University Chorale, or premiering original work on stage, you will find your place here.
