College of Visual Arts

(Saint Paul, MN)

The College of Visual Arts is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and was one of the first schools in the Twin Cities area designed to ignite the creativity of artists and designers.

With BFA degrees offered in fine arts, graphic design, illustration, interdisciplinary design studies, and photography, the school can meet the needs of even the most dynamic art student.

Located in the urban residential oases of Summit Hill and Ramsey Hill in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the college was founded in 1924. Their mission is to cultivate a worldview in its students that recognizes the value of art and design in promoting pride in place and responsible citizenship.

With only 200 students and a low 4:1 faculty to student ratio, CVA offers an extremely personalized education, with faculty members who care about students' creative development and success.
