The Visual Art major offers a broad range of courses across the 2D, 3D, and 4D disciplines. Our students are encouraged to develop their own artistic voice using the skills and techniques from their coursework, while integrating their university education and the vibrant urban community.

You will work directly with faculty members that are practicing artists with active exhibition practices. In addition, there are cocurricular opportunities for students to find additional mentorship with international artists and curators. Through this holistic approach to education, our major prepares students for a future in the arts.
