Montserrat's areas of study include Animation and Interactive Media, Art Education, Book Arts, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interdisciplinary Arts, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Photography, Video and Film, with minors in Art Education, Art History, Creative Writing, Curatorial Studies, and Entrepreneurship in the Arts. The curriculum is structured around experiential learning, studio practice, liberal arts, and professional preparation. 

Our 12-to-1 student-to-professor ratio allows Montserrat students to form meaningful relationships with our faculty of practicing artists, designers, and scholars. The faculty is deeply invested in our students’ artistic journeys, and Montserrat’s hands-on advising system ensures that every student stays on track and has access to our many resources (internships, travel abroad opportunities, mobility programs) during their time here. In addition to their dedication to teaching, all Montserrat faculty are active and accomplished artists in their fields. 

Our Student Financial Services team is dedicated to helping families afford Montserrat. With Montserrat’s merit and need-based awards, the cost of attending Montserrat is often comparable to that of attending a state-supported college. Montserrat addresses financial need through a combination of Montserrat scholarships, federal grants and loans, and state and private grants and scholarships. All applicants receive merit scholarship consideration, and the vast majority of our applicants receive financial assistance through merit scholarships, financial aid awards or a combination of both.
