Cornish College of the Arts offers a selection of our college level courses to non-degree seeking students on a “space available” basis. Visit our Class Schedule to search for available options. Community members may register for any class found in the Arts Elective section of the schedule that has a designated section status of “Open.”  To register for a class that contains the course requisite “Departmental Authorization,” community members must obtain written permission from the appropriate department prior to registration. Course requisite information can be found in the “Course Details” section of each course.

Additional non-credit courses are offered during the summer months and these courses are open to members of the community. Learn more about Summer at Cornish.
