Welcome to the Department of Art

The mission of the Department of Art is to provide students with the skills needed to accomplish the tasks of their professions and to awaken them to that intellectual level of existence which will cause them to lead fuller, more rewarding lives.

The Department of Art offers students the opportunity to learn to communicate ideas effectively, to develop analytical skills, to synthesize ideas, to evaluate implications of present actions against historical perspective and to develop discriminating aesthetic judgments. In its varied course offerings, the Department of Art plays a large part in fulfilling the University’s mission of stimulating curiosity, communicating ideas and appreciating the creative accomplishments of the human race.
