You?ll benefit from small class sizes, a fantastic studio environment, and personalized instruction led by a diverse group of faculty made up of professional artists, curators, photographers and designers. All art majors take a series of foundational courses which include drawing, design, photography, art history, and visual literacy courses. These help you develop the material, visual, and intellectual skills necessary for art-making.

We emphasize experiential and engaged learning inside and outside the classroom. Through creative exploration and critical analysis, you will learn to integrate theoretical knowledge with hands-on creative practice. This approach is essential for advanced study and a life of art-making and creativity.?As you define your goals and hone your skills, you may develop an art focus:

• Fine Arts Focus?includes painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture.
• Media Arts Focus?includes photography, graphic design, and video.
