The Master of Fine Art with concentration in Ceramic Art is the Number 1 program of its kind in the country as ranked by the US News and World report.
The 100+ year old New York State College of Ceramics was born through an act of legislation that poised the college as the leader in ceramic art and engineering then and now.
The New York State College of Ceramics houses two award-winning sectors of Alfred University: The Inamori School of Engineering and the School of Art and Design.
