For #graphicdesign design major Tyler Best (CFA'26), what sets @BUVisualArts apart is its nurturing culture. "It’s a space that not only helps you find your artistic voice but also equips you to push it further than you ever thought possible."

BU’s campus in the summer is many things, but empty isn’t one of them! Take, for example, Summer Studios. In July, @BUVisualArts MA Art Education online graduate students come to Boston for hands-on, process-oriented instruction within a supportive environment.
