Combining Creativity with Technical Skills
The Department of Art and Design offers majors and minors in art, fine art, graphic design, art therapy, photojournalism, and art history to help you shape the world through the media, method, and visual communication of your choosing. We teach each student the technical skills and processes needed for freedom of expression alongside the ideas, culture, art history and theory that make art and design meaningful vocations. No matter a student’s specific discipline or major, we encourage engagement with materials and media of every kind, from bronze, paint, ink and clay to graphics, video and photography. Our numerous studio spaces and professional faculty offer students the support they need to engage in the creative experimentation that will lead them to become successful emerging artists and designers.
