Established in 1848, Moore College of Art & Design is the first and only U.S. women’s art and design college - and one of two in the world. Moore's campus, on the scenic Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia within walking distance of three world-renown art museums, was designed and built explicitly to accommodate art and design students. Today, we welcome women and nonbinary students seeking an immersive, rigorous and dynamic education in art and design that will catapult them into the careers of their dreams.
Moore students receive intensive, personalized instruction in small classes from creative professionals who will inspire and support you to achieve your goals, passions, and dreams. The College offers 9 BFA programs, including Animation & Game Arts, Art Education, Fashion Design, Film & Digital Cinema, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interior Design, and Photography.
A required, subsidized 240-hour internship plants the early seeds for career-focused education. 100% of students receive merit-based scholarships as they prepare for inspiring, successful careers. Attesting to high job-placement rates, Moore’s student loan default rate (4%) is well below the national average (13.4%).
