The University of San Francisco is considering an acquisition of the San Francisco Art Institute, the two institutions announced Thursday.
The two have signed a letter of intent to “explore integrating operations and academic programs in the arts to elevate the next generation of artists,” according to a letter from Paul Fitzgerald, president of the University of San Francisco.
The Jesuit university will now begin a review of the finances, curriculum and physical assets of the art institute and explore the accreditation process for a new program.
