SUNY Purchase is superb for Visual Art & Art History and they also have a major in Environmental Studies. The Arts is what they do at Purchase. Located just outside New York City, they have easy access to a wide range of artists and professionals from the NYC arts community. It’s a relatively short train ride from the town of Purchase into The City.
Cost for an out of state student is about $37,000 per year, so $30,000 should be within reach with financial aid.
