Student Experience

Students will find that the Art, Art History, and Design Department is focused on building up and supporting the full student experience. All of the faculty ensure that there is investigation and discovery which is suited to each discipline. Art History faculty challenge students with comprehensive research projects which are tailored to the individual’s areas of interests. Fine art faculty lead by example, typically working alongside students in the labs. Students are challenged to increasingly more ambitious projects as they move through the program. Graphic Design faculty introduce realistic industry-based projects to students in all levels of coursework. Collectively, each area develops a working relationship with the cohort as they gain historical, conceptual and practical knowledge. Due to the small class sizes, students work closely with faculty and share access to department guests, specialized equipment and other resources which make students thrive and flourish in their discipline. Outward facing practice such as gallery shows, internships, lectures and study abroad are all part of the total student experience.
