RPI Arts Department

Arts Department

The Department of the Arts at Rensselaer was founded in 1972. It is built around a world class faculty and is dedicated to interdisciplinary creative research in electronic arts. We offer a unique environment in which to develop and realize innovative art within a technological university.

The studios and the program have historically been referred to as iEAR (Integrated Electronic Arts at Rensselaer). The studios provide specialized facilities for students, faculty and visiting artists to engage in individual and collaborative research projects.
