The mission of the program from University of the Pacific is to graduate creative individuals who think critically and historically, communicate effectively and act responsibly in our global society.
- To accomplish this mission:
- Our undergraduate curricula include art and design theories, histories and experiential learning in both traditional and contemporary visual arts media, providing a strong basis for informed reflection, critical thinking, independent inquiry and imaginative expression.
- Our undergraduate curricula in Graphic Design combines a thorough visual arts education with a comprehensive grounding in the fertile, intellectual heritage of the Humanities and the liberal arts.
- Our faculty members inform and inspire; their teaching expertise is enriched by their professional experience as artists, designers and historians.
- Undergraduate research, internships and study abroad experiences are encouraged.
- We promote interdisciplinary partnerships and collaborations with other units within the university and within our community to create educational opportunities and reach to broader audiences.
