A hallmark of the department is individual attention from faculty working directly with each student to ensure quality learning and tailor the learning experience to fit the student's career goals.

Students have numerous opportunities for not only hands on learning but real experience in the art world and beyond.

The Department also offers a student-run professional art gallery that provides opportunities for public exhibitions.

The Department supports the institutional mission in instructional technology while recognizing the departmental role in encouraging individual expression, enriching the human experience, and cultivating an artistic community.

Through frequent exhibitions, art sales, and participation in campus and community activities, the Department also makes important contributions to the cultural environment of the region.
