Faculty

Our faculty is made up of innovative scholars, artists, composers, performers, and researchers at the top of their fields, including winners of the Pulitzer Prize; Grammy, Emmy, Obie, Bessie, Tony, ASCAP, and Drama Desk Awards; National Science Foundation grants; and Guggenheim, NEA, and NEH fellowships.

Our proximity to New York City allows some Purchase faculty, especially in our conservatory programs, to maintain their professional careers, which enhances the classroom with real-life perspective (in real time). It also provides students with a wealth of connections that can benefit them during their time here as well as after graduation.
