The College of the Arts consists of the departments of industrial design, art education, 
history of art, theatre, art dance, music, and the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts 
and Design. Each department is a small world within the most comprehensive public 
institution in the country. Learning is still very much a one-on-one experience, while the 
influences that touch students are all encompassing. The College recently added the Robert 
Shaw Institute in the School of Music and is working to establish a center for media arts. 
At The Ohio State University, artists are prepared for the 21st century. A solid liberal arts 
foundation is at the core of students learning experience. Students study influences from 
the past and examine the traditions that have shaped the world. They create in the present, 
applying the latest techniques, technologies, and ideas to their work.

The Department of Art at The Ohio State University has twenty-two full time faculty and 
six visiting artists working in the areas of ceramics, expanded arts, glass, 
painting/drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. The department offers both BFA and MFA 
degrees and enrolls about 35 graduate students and 150 undergraduate students per year. 
Interdisciplinary study is encouraged between other departments in the College of the Arts 
and other departments in the University such as physics, geology, and architecture. The 
department sponsors year round exhibition programs at the Hopkins Hall Gallery (in the 
department of art building) and at the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts. 

The Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) at The Ohio State 
University has a 25 year history of research and instruction in computer graphics and 
animation. Formerly called the Computer Graphics Research Group (CGRG), the Center 
has a true interdisciplinary character and attempts to merge scientific investigation with 
aesthetic ideals. While it is administratively located in the College of the Arts, it provides 
leadership in computer graphics and animation development to support instruction and 
research in both the arts and the sciences. The Center offers a context in which students and 
faculty representing both disciplines can learn the power of the digital syntax. It promotes 
the study of an aesthetic message design that can have an impact upon such diverse areas as 
computer software development, advertising and television promotion, the visual and 
performing arts, and scientific computing and visualization.
