Bachelor of Science

 
 

 
 

 
 


Art meets business. Business meets art. MCAD's bachelor of science degree is designed to let students interested in both business and art put their talents and abilities to work—literally. It's a great fit for students who are both visual and verbal, have an entrepreneurial knack, and like to analyze and solve complex problems.

Bachelor of Science students learn by doing, starting from Day One. Working together in teams, they meet with real clients to manage projects. Their education is rounded out with liberal studies courses and studio electives. And because there's no substitute for experience, students take internships and externships (a full-time, paid internship) at places like advertising agencies, magazines and Web-design firms.
