The PASCA difference: Immersive. Dynamic. Transformative.

Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture, Installations, Conceptual Art Courses.

Unique to PASCA’s study abroad program is our emphasis on integrating your experiences while here—whether they come from meeting a local merchant while on a walk in Brittany, or a response to a video installation at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, or through the prompts you are given through assignment in the studio—with the art you are creating. Our courses and workshops are crafted to help you distill this heightened awareness—bring this awareness to your practice, and, ultimately, give you a solid foundation for your life as an artist.

Here are a few particulars on our curriculum, course and studio design that we think sets our program apart from others:

* Our thematic, concept-driven approach is dynamic and multi-disciplinary
* Cultural Site Seminars are designed to take advantage of exhibitions that expand on the cultural and academic goals of the program
* Our size and low student-to-faculty ratio creates a mentorship experience, rather than traditional classroom delivery
* The experiential component of the curriculum permeates students’ work
* Our studios are constructed as flexible spaces, allowing students to work both independently and collaboratively
