Driven by a belief in the power of art to shape society, the School of Art+Design and its dynamic faculty provide a place where emerging artists, designers and art historians can question, create, reflect and learn. The School of Art+Design offers an interdisciplinary course of study for students interested in the ways that art and design have served and continue to serve the highest aspirations of individuals and communities to express themselves. Students have the opportunity to connect their study of art history with a range of art practices, and with the visual communications tools brought to bear by graphic designers. Studio-based instruction is joined with lectures, seminars and workshop classes. Students have the opportunity to work directly with faculty to plan and carry out a program of study suited to their interests and aspirations. The culture of the School is one of research, writing and art making, and critique and reflection.
