About
Moore College of Art & Design is a private art school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1848 by Sarah Worthington Peter as the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, and was renamed Moore College of Art & Design in 1989. Although the school's undergraduate programs were historically only open to women, Moore's board voted to open admission to all genders in 2026, with the new policy planned to be in effect for the 2027-28 academic year. Its other educational programs, including graduate programs and youth programs, are co-educational.
