The on-going philosophy of the department is one of commitment to excellence in education and professional standards. Anything less will only shortchange the student upon graduation when he or she enters the highly competitive fields of art, or pursues a graduate degree in art.

Aid is awarded primarily to the serious student whose purpose and quality of work is apparent.
Internships and co-operative educational programs are also available with various area businesses.
