The Department of Art and Art History prepares students to be informed creators, viewers, and interpreters of art. With three distinct areas of study, expert faculty, dedicated studios, an art gallery, and a vibrant exhibition program, you’ll develop as both an artist and a scholar in a collaborative creative community.
