Study Abroad in Milan, Italy
Study graphic design in two global centers of creativity –Santa Fe, NM, and Milan, Italy
Santa Fe University of Art and Design in agreement with Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), an acclaimed art and design school in Milan, Italy, now offers a study abroad program that allows students to study at the two universities and offers the opportunity to earn both a BFA in Graphic Design from Santa Fe University of Art and Design and a BA in Graphic Design from NABA.
This unique program in graphic design requires students to study in Santa Fe mastering the tools, techniques, and mediums required in the graphic design profession. Students will then spend an academic year at NABA, where their English-language curriculum will focus on advertising and the integration of different media in graphic design and art direction. This program is ideal for committed students who want to broaden their graphic design education through the interdisciplinary degree programs offered at Santa Fe University of Art and Design and Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti.
Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) is an internationally renowned academy of fine arts and design that was founded in 1980 by a group of artists with the intention of challenging the rigid academic traditions of the time through the introduction of new visions and languages that are closer to contemporary artistic practice and the creative professions. NABA is a non-state institution belonging to the Higher Artistic and Musical Education (AFAM) system, a section of the Italian University system ruled by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
