University
Joslyn offers a variety of programs designed especially for college students and faculty, from stimulating lectures and gallery discussions, to lively concerts and innovative film series. Art and art history majors will find an exceptional resource in Abrahams Library, the region's most comprehensive art reference library. Internships and credit courses are available periodically. Special discount admission rates often apply to students and faculty by presenting a valid college I.D. at the admissions desk. We invite you to check out all Joslyn has to offer!
