Santa Fe University of Art and Design (SFUAD) was a private for-profit art school in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The university was built from the non-profit College of Santa Fe (CSF),[3][4] a Catholic facility founded as St. Michael's College in 1859, and renamed the College of Santa Fe in 1966. After financial difficulties in 2009, the college closed and the campus was purchased by the City of Santa Fe, the State of New Mexico, and Laureate Education, and reopened with a narrowed focus on film, theater, graphic design, and fine arts. As Santa Fe University of Art and Design it became a secular college of 950 students.[1] The university closed in May 2018 due to significant ongoing financial challenges.[5]
I chose CSF because it offered a bachelor's degree in creative writing and it was far away.
Negotiations have been contractually exlusive [sic] with Laureate during an extended period of due diligence making it unlikely that CSF has other courters waiting in the wings.
