Continuing Education
The Continuing Education program at the New Hampshire Institute of Art offers outstanding non-credit fine art classes, workshops and intensives for adults and high school students 15 years and older. Our small classes provide individual attention for students while they learn from our working professional faculty/artists. Day, evening and weekend courses are available for all skill levels during the Fall, Spring, and Summer Sessions.

Certificate Program
Certificate Programs are offered in Painting, Ceramics, Interior Design and Photography. The Institute’s Certificate Program is designed as a two-year, intensive study in which students take a series of required studio and lecture courses that provide a solid foundation, while elective courses allow students to explore topics of special interest within the program. It is structured to help students acquire the technical and creative skills necessary to begin working towards developing an independent body of work. Upon successful completion of the sequence of courses, a certificate of accomplishment is awarded in each area of study.

Goal and Objectives
The goal of the Institute’s Continuing Education program is to serve a broad community of traditional and non-traditional students with meaningful continuing education opportunities. The objectives are:

• To provide adults and high school students with a diverse range of classes, intensives, and workshops that will enrich and facilitate their understanding of the arts.
• To offer beginning, intermediate and advanced courses, workshops and intensives that is taught by working artist and professional faculty.
• To assist learners 16 years and older to explore a wide variety of interests, personal vision and creativity, and to develop a body of work/portfolio.
• To provide a certificate program which offers a concentrated studio experience in a specific area of study and potential BFA matriculation.
• To offer a Pre-College Summer Intensive for high school students that rigorously challenges them to explore art-making materials and techniques in a college-level environment with their peers.

All students enrolled in Certificate and Continuing Education courses must abide by the codes of conduct, policies and procedures as set forth in the Student Handbook (download link in list above).
