School of Art and Design

Graduate study in the School of Art and Design is about more than earning a degree. It's about passion. Energy. Dedication. Most of all, it's about growing as an artist and an individual.

We expect a lot of our graduate students - talent, intelligence, curiosity, confidence - and in turn, we give you programs that are demanding and intense yet always challenging and rewarding. We give you a community of artists with whom you can study and collaborate. We give you a curriculum that allows you to take advantage of University courses and resources. We give you the opportunity to gain teaching experience.

Our faculty are highly regarded, working professionals who care about your growth and success. They do not dictate a certain style. Class sizes are small, and one-on-one interaction with faculty is common. Our outstanding visiting artists' program and quality facilities complement your graduate experience.

Passion. Energy. Dedication. Don't just read about it. Come for a visit and experience our unique atmosphere for yourself.
