The Art Department is a part of the School of Fine and Performing Arts, and offers both undergraduate and graduate professional degree granting programs. The faculty works with students helping to provoke and inspire the discipline, work ethic, and integrity required to develop a unique and personal expression. Our commitment is in support of the student, and to this end we offer a curriculum which fosters the student's independent exploration and growth. Critical to the student's success is the regular communication and discussion of ideas and work which occur in the studio community.
Faculty supports and encourages participation in student-governed groups.
These enhance the educational experience. Both the Clay Club, and the Student Art Alliance are groups organized and run by students.
