Overview
Carnegie Mellon is a place where creativity grows. Learn more about yourself and the world while making art and making friends. Combine your visions with passion and discipline and make art that matters.
The Pre-College Art Program motivates, stimulates and prepares you as an emerging artist. Exploring traditional tools and new technologies in a variety of media leads you to develop conceptual and technical skills, as well as your portfolio — all excellent preparation for applying to and succeeding in college-level art programs. Challenging lectures and courses, museum and gallery field trips and energetic interaction with dedicated faculty and talented peers introduce you to the spirit and substance of an art school culture and environment.
