About This School

Montserrat College of Art is a private nonprofit institution located in Beverly, Massachusetts with approximately 261 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $34,725 per year. The graduation rate is 62%, and the typical graduate earns $28,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Montserrat College of Art is a private art school in Beverly, Massachusetts. It is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the small, focused environment (just 261 students) and relatively modest debt at graduation ($23,707) are genuine positives for a dedicated art student, the 62% graduation rate and median earnings of $28,800 a decade out raise real questions about long-term financial sustainability. Worth considering if you're deeply committed to a studio art path and have a clear plan for supplementing your income, but the $34,725 average annual net price is a steep investment given those post-graduation earnings.
