The college offers Bachelor Of Fine Arts (BFA) programs in Fine Art , Graphic Design , Illustration , and Photography . PCAD is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art & Design (NASAD). The college also offers professional programs in Digital Design Series, Web-Digital Design Series, Print- Mural painting, and Folk Art studies, as well as a wide variety of credit/non-credit studio and computer courses. History The college began in 1982 as the Pennsylvania School of the Arts, in Marietta, Pennsylvania . It was begun by faculty from the recently-closed York Academy of Arts, which had been located in York, Pennsylvania . It moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1987, and since 1 July 2003 has operated under the name Pennsylvania School of Art and Design. The school originally offered a three year diploma program which consisted of classes in Fine Art , Interior Design , and communication arts. In the fall of 1999, Pennsylvania College of Art & Design was approved as a college and awarded degree-granting privileges by the Pennsylvania Department Of Education . In August of 2000, the first BFA freshman walked through the new college's doors. In the summer of 2001, the college marked another milestone when it purchased the property at 202-204 North Prince St., making its home of the past 12 years a permanent one. This purchase provides the college with an opportunity for expansion in the future, and has established PCAD as another major anchor in downtown Lancaster. δðå≈β EXTERNAL LINKS
