History edit

In 1946, Paier was established by Edward T. and Adele K. Paier as the Paier School of Applied Arts in West Haven, Connecticut. Paier absorbed students from the Whitney School of Art when it closed, leading to the new title Paier School of Art. Paier moved to New Haven in 1954 and then finally to 6 Prospect Court in Hamden in 1960 and in 1963 expanded to its present location. In 1982, Paier was accredited as a 4-year degree-granting college.[3] In 2019, the Paier College of Art named Joseph Bierbaum as its new president to succeed former president Jonathan Paier.[4][5] In March 2021, Paier announced a name change from Paier College of Art to Paier College and plans to move its campus to Bridgeport, Connecticut, into facilities formerly used by the University of Bridgeport, before the start of the fall 2021 semester.[6]

Academics edit

Paier College of Art focuses on training students for technical and professional careers as artists.[7] Paier offers five Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree programs as well as four certificates and one Associate degree. The college also offers part-time and evening classes, continuing education, and electives in general education and liberal arts.

Accreditation edit

Paier College of Art is licensed by the Connecticut Board of Governors of Higher Education[8][9] and is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges.[10] It was also previously a member of the International Council of Design Schools.[11]

Galleries and events edit
