Our department seeks to continuously maintain an atmosphere conducive to developing skilled and professionally mature artists, designers, and art historians. Emphasis is placed upon instruction from a multicultural perspective and recognition of the dynamic reciprocity of art and life in the preparation of students for careers in the visual arts.
