Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design is a private, accredited, four year institute of higher learning offering bachelor of fine arts degrees in a variety of creative disciplines.

Our campus at one of the finest colleges in Colorado is situated between downtown Denver and the foot of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. In this peaceful environment our faculty of practicing artists and designers guide countless students to receive their Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees and to successful lives in the world of art.

At Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design students earn their bachelor of fine arts degrees by taking a combination of studio classes and seminars, and by completing group and independent projects.

Each studio class meets once or twice a week, usually for two or three hours at a stretch. This gives you plenty of time to work on your projects while the instructor is right there to lend advice and guidance. You’ll also get to share ideas with your fellow students during periodic critiques.

Our studio faculty is accomplished artists and designers who bring their extensive professional experience to the classrooms and studios.

Bachelor of Fine Arts Degrees:



In our program you will learn about figure drawing, 2D and 3D software, motion studies and production techniques. RMCAD's animation curriculum, however, goes far beyond this.

Our faculty of professional animators will encourage you to experiment and explore new techniques. While working and living along side our illustration, design and other fine art students you will be exposed to techniques and ideas that are simply not present at most other schools. Courses in the humanities and social sciences will bring new depth and sophistication to your characters and stories.
It only takes one great teacher to put a student on the path to seeing, experiencing and sharing a larger world. Our program will give you the tools and techniques needed to play an active part in nurturing other artists' creative visions, improving their practical skills, and infusing them with a desire to fully experience life.

Whether your path leads to a K-12 career, a future as a private tutor or instruction in the halls of higher education, your studies at RMCAD will help you make a positive difference in the lives of your students.
(Sculpting, Painting & Photography)
You love to paint, draw, take photographs, sculpt. But being a fine artist isn't really about these things. It's about finding your own way of seeing and experiencing the world, and mastering techniques to share your vision with others.

As a Fine Arts major you will work one-on-one with a mentor to create a program of study tailored just for you. No two Fine Arts students take the same path through our program.
Good design makes life better, easier, more fun. As a Graphic Design major you'll study the psychology that makes great design, well, great. We'll also show you how to take this ability and use it to create things that fit: people's minds, bodies and needs. And you will learn how to create things that connect: identity systems, printed materials, product packaging, posters -- experiences.
Do you think in pictures? As an Illustration major you will develop your personal style of drawing and painting, with an emphasis on telling stories.

A Foundation in Drawing and Painting
Successful illustrators are masters at drawing and painting. In the first two years of our program you will focus on perfecting your fine arts skills:
  • observational drawing
  • figure painting
  • life drawing
  • still life painting
  • landscape painting
  • the study of human anatomy
  • and more.
At RMCAD, we approach interior design as an extension of the fine arts. As an interior design major you will explore how light, space, color and texture shape our moods and perceptions.

We also help students learn about all of the practical things interior design involves -- space planning, computer aided drafting, and making sustainable decisions. You'll learn how to select materials and communicate with builders and contractors. And along the way you will discover and refine your own personal style.
