Department of Art Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Art is the practice and the teaching of art. The Department of Art's mission embraces the College of Arts and Humanities' emphasis on the enrichment of our students' educational experiences. The Department strives to develop and sustain our students' professional aspirations in Graphic Design, Art Education and the Studio Arts. Through our programs we seek to identify the rich creative and intellectual potential of students as they awaken to the lifelong value placed on critical and analytical skills. It is the Department's belief that an art education builds the expertise necessary for students seeking to assume their respective roles as practitioners, educators, and informed patrons of the visual arts.
