Undergraduate students have the opportunity to choose from more than two dozen majors taught by leading experts and practitioners in their fields, as well as more than 30 minors designed to augment and enhance your primary course of study. We also offer an interdisciplinary program that allows you to create your own major by combining courses across departments to support your unique academic area of interest.
In addition to studying at our Boston campus, you may spend a semester at our Los Angeles campus or our castle in the Netherlands; study in Paris through our Global BFA in Film Art; or choose from other learning options in Washington DC, Spain, and more.
