ART EDUCATION. The Department prides itself on the reputation of the Art Education program which has for several years been providing innovation and leadership within the region. In response to the educational needs of area art teachers, a Master of Art Education degree was recently created. The employment opportunities for our graduates are outstanding: virtually every graduate finds employment in a teaching position.

GRAPHIC DESIGN. Graduates of this program enjoy excellent opportunities for employment. The program prepares the student for a broad range of specialty areas including publication design (book, magazine, newspaper), advertising design (logo, package, sign, corporate image) and graphic design for television and movies. Students are given rigorous training on the use of the computer as both a design and production tool using the latest software available. A strong foundation in art and design along with an emphasis on computer graphics prepares our graduates to be well received in the field.

STUDIO ART. For those seeking careers as practicing visual artists, or for those wishing to pursue a graduate degree in fine arts, the studio art major is designed to prepare students with the necessary pre-professional skills. Students who graduate with this degree frequently pursue graduate work at a university, or they may choose to market their work or go into other art-related fields.
