Pioneers Create New Vision
Art majors work closely with professors who are all talented artists devoted to passing on their knowledge to the next generation of creative thinkers. Small class sizes guarantee the type of attention necessary to foster artistic development.
Faculty challenge students to stretch their artistic vision and to try a variety of mediums. Part of honing artistic talents is being able to discuss their works — which is why Art majors present their original creative works to the campus community during the annual Senior Capstone Exhibition every spring.
