Art school is a colloquial term for any educational institution (whether secondary, post-secondary/undergraduate, or graduate) with a primary focus on the visual arts, especially illustration, painting, sculpture, and graphic design. It is distinguished from larger institutions which offer majors or degrees in the visual arts, but only as one part of a broad-based range of programs (such as the liberal arts and sciences). If accredited as a college, most art schools grant a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and perhaps other degrees.
