The Department of Art & Art History aims to provide our majors and minors with a dynamic, open, and academically rigorous learning environment for the study of global art practice in both art history and studio art. The focus of the studio art training is in art teaching, arts technology, book arts, ceramics, graphic design, illustration, painting and drawing, photography and digital imaging, printmaking, and sculpture intermedia.
We believe that we provide our students with life-changing experiences that have lasting benefits. We honor and develop the natural talents of our students and give them the tools to look critically at the world and express their views visually, verbally, and in writing.
