 | Diverse Educational ResourcesAIB's community of artists currently
create and study in Boston’s Kenmore Square. Yet, the arts play a major
role in the larger University. As part of Lesley University, AIB
students benefit from access to the University’s full range of program
offerings. The experience of all Lesley University students is enhanced
through collaboration with the students and faculty of AIB. In fact,
more than two-thirds of all Lesley University students are engaged in
the arts through programs like Creative Arts in Learning, one of the largest
Master’s Programs, or Expressive Therapies, a field pioneered at Lesley. Public PartnershipsThrough
its students and faculty, AIB is deeply engaged in the community
through internships and practica, public mural projects and arts-related
projects with non-profits and other organizations in greater Boston. In
anticipation of the relocation to Cambridge, exciting conversations
have begun to build partnerships and collaborations with Cambridge
organizations including the Cambridge Arts Council, the Cambridge Public
Schools, the Maud Morgan Visual Arts Center and the North Cambridge
Artists Association. |
An Integrated Experience
AIB’s
students are already integrated into Lesley’s Cambridge
campuses in many ways. As part of a liberal arts curriculum, AIB
students take their humanities and science courses in Cambridge. Likewise, all residential AIB students live with other Lesley students
in on-campus residence halls in Cambridge. Most aspects of undergraduate
student life (athletics, student government, student activities, etc.) are now fully integrated into one undergraduate community of students.
