For over 30 years it has provided students the opportunity to explore and participate in the Parisian art scene while developing their portfolio under the guidance of respected industry professionals and academics. PCA is accredited in the U.S. by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and is part of the International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media (CUMULUS).
Study abroad students at PCA are integrated into the degree-seeking student population, and take courses alongside the international student body of about 250, with members representing over 50 nationalities. All courses at PCA are taught in English by a diverse faculty of artists, designers, and industry professionals. PCA is based in a beautifully refurbished historic building in the culturally rich 10th arrondissement, full of art studios, textile stores, creative agencies, and myriad cafes and restaurants. PCA’s close connections with the local art and fashion scenes allow students unique opportunities for hands-on engagement with fashion shows, gallery events and local artists as an extension of the classroom.
