A Diverse International Student Body
New York City has always been a magnet for the exceptionally talented in most fields of endeavor. Because the Tisch School of the Arts is located in this culturally diverse portal city, the gifted students it attracts come from an extraordinary variety of geographic origins, economic circumstances, and ethnic backgrounds. No other school of the arts provides this mix. Our students are encouraged to bring their own experiences to their work, challenging their fellow students to see the world from perspectives other than their own.
A Faculty of Working Professionals
The teaching philosophy of the Tisch School of the Arts is “learn by doing.” This approach is particularly meaningful because our full-time faculty members are working professionals with a stellar record of achievement. Their experience of actively producing art or engaging in scholarship enables them to provide invaluable guidance to their students – guidance that is both inspirational and realistic. Such advice can be the key to success in student’s careers after graduation.
