The Masters Program in the History of Decorative Arts & Design, a collaborative program of

Parsons Academy is our year-round pre-college studio program for young artists and designers entering grades 4 through 12. Our two-week summer intensive courses build a solid foundation in observational drawing and the design process while utilizing the extensive visual and cultural resources of New York City. In the morning, students develop drawing skills and visual concepts in a drawing studio. In the afternoon, they explore a specific art or design discipline in depth through an elective studio. This is a non-credit, non-residential program.
Bank Street College of Education and Parsons have collaborated to
offer a three-summer graduate degree program in Leadership in the Arts which leads to a Master of Science in Education. This program is designed to meet the needs
of educators and has two principal components: the leadership portion provides the knowledge
and skills needed for the role of supervisor and administrator in diverse school and community
settings, the studio portion helps students refine and develop art and design skills.
