Founded in 1848 under the mission to expand women’s access to higher education, Moore College of Art & Design offers a women’s college experience. Undergraduate admission is open to otherwise qualified applicants: (i) assigned female at birth; or (ii) who self-identify as women, trans women, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming individuals, at the time of application.
Two-Year Residency Requirement:
The residence halls at Moore College of Art & Design provide a holistic experience for students to be connected to one another, have easy access to studios throughout the day/evening, and foster relationships and collaborations that build lifetime skills with your artistic community of fellow residents. New this year and in response to our students’ needs, Moore ensures housing availability for all 4 years as an undergraduate student. Full-time undergraduate students whose permanent address, as stated in their official College Record, is outside of a 10-mile radius of the College, are required to live in the residence hall for their first two years. Please contact us if you would like to discuss potential exemptions.
