Programs taught in the School of Art, Media, and Technology (AMT)—illustration, fine arts, photography, communication design, data visualization, media, and design and technology — reflect AMT's mission to practice critically and collaboratively in pursuit of both inclusive, participatory art and design education and broader social progress. You are challenged to develop as a maker and thinker who creates in relevant ways that continually engage with emerging and established global practices, discourses, and histories.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
AMT students work together in Collaboration Studio courses and other projects, merging disciplines spurred by technology and resulting in social engagement. They create shows and programming for venues worldwide.
Studying the City
NYC, your extended classroom, is home to innovators who serve as instructors, critics, internship hosts, and advisors. Partners — including AIGA, Apple, Eyebeam, and Red Cross — connect you with NYC’s professional community.
Ideas Become Creations
Parsons’ resources promote innovation and collaboration. Our Making Center provides 600 networked workstations and servers, with specialized facilities supporting photography, 3D prototyping, animation, printmaking, and motion capture.
New Voices in Art & Design
AMT events convene practitioners from around the world to explore the role of creativity in society. Visionaries like Julie Mehretu, Ryan McGinley, Adrian Tomine, Eva Respini, Tehching Hsieh, and Tina Roth-Eisenberg visit studios and lecture.
At Parsons, your mentors include world-renowned artists, digital pioneers, and scholar-makers who lead their industries. Every day, you’ll benefit from their real-world experience and expertise in small collaborative classes.
