The Department of Art + Design's vision is to provide a creative environment that enables students to ask questions, think critically, and take risks as they gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for a meaningful, productive life and work as critical makers in a global society.
The National Association of Schools of Art and Design accredits all programs in the Department of Art + Design.
The program offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with the option of five concentrations: Animation and Visual Effects, Art Education, Art History, Graphic Design, and Studio Art. The program offers four minors (non-degree) with the options of Art History, Graphic Design, Photography, and Studio Art. Art and Design classes are also offered as part of the general education core.
