Areas of Study

BECOME PART OF AN EXTRAORDINARILY
CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY.
Nearly 4 in 10 Purchase College’s students are enrolled in our School of the Arts—our highly selective conservatory programs in Dance, Music, Theatre Arts and Film, and our School of Art+Design—while the majority of our students are enrolled in Liberal Arts and Sciences programs in the Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Interdisciplinary Studies.

There is a strong cultural crossover between our School of the Arts programs and our Liberal Arts and Sciences programs.

However, it should be understood that School of the Arts programs and Liberal Arts and Sciences programs at Purchase College are quite distinct, with separate application processes, separate program requirements, and limited options for crossover academic experiences.

No matter what academic or professional path you pursue, being part of an extraordinarily creative community is an education in and of itself.
