It is the goal of the Department of Visual Art & Design to help each student achieve the traditional and digital skills necessary to achieve entrance into a graduate program, begin work as a professional artist or craftsman or achieve a professional portfolio that will allow them to directly pursue a career in their chosen track after graduation. Through dedicated faculty, quality education and active community involvement, we seek to empower students to honor God in their visual communication.

Student Handbook. The Department of Visual Art & Design Student Handbook, available at the department office, provides clarification of departmental guidelines, requirements and standards.

Computer Policy. The Department of Visual Art & Design regards the computer as a tool integral to the success of the visual communicator in their professional development. All students are required to purchase a laptop computer and software meeting the department guidelines. Because computer technology is continually changing, a revised policy is drafted in the fall semester, outlining the specific requirements for each year. Laptop purchases should be made by mid-fall semester of the student?s freshman year. Use of the computer in the curriculum varies by course.
