Art and Design Division
The Art and Design Division seeks to educate the total artist. An art
curriculum based on a liberal arts core provides a foundation in the
visual arts, new ways of seeing, and a grounding in fundamental art
techniques. Courses are designed to promote:
- the awareness, appreciation and responsiveness to all forms of
art, traditional as well as emerging art forms
- the development of a unique creative expression that reflects
one's individual experience, perceptions, concepts
- critical judgment to understand the various styles of esthetic taste
- the ability to use the language of art as a means of communication
Art faculty are practicing artists and the ratio of faculty to students,
overall, is about 1:14, translating into more individual attention.
The Music Department offers credit and non-credit
coursework in a variety of areas and encourages students to participate
in ensembles. Find out more about

Art and Design Division students are encouraged
to apply for the prestigious Layton
Art Scholarship, a renewable scholarship ranging from $100 to
$500 per year. |
