Celebrating Five Years of Partnership with Paris College of Art

Faculty and administrators from Emerson College and Paris College of Art (PCA) joined current Global BFA students in the Emerson Visitors Center to unveil a plaque commemorating the innovative, international program on Thursday, Aug. 15.

The Global BFA program, launched in summer 2019, combines courses in film and media production, art and film history, media criticism, French language and culture, liberal arts, and more. The program is taught over three and a half years at Emerson, PCA, and Emerson’s Kasteel Well in the Netherlands, and graduates emerge with BFAs from both Emerson and PCA.

Among those attending the event were, from Emerson, President Jay Bernhardt, Provost Alexandra Socarides, School of the Arts Dean Kate Eichhorn, and Global BFA Co-Director Professor Dan Gaucher. Representing Paris College of Arts were Provost Michael Meere and Global BFA Co-Director and Film Department Chair Harald Hutter.

The plaque joins one honoring Emerson’s partnership with Blanquerna University in Barcelona.
