We fully support the teaching intensive mission driving our college, believing this sets us apart, earning our distinction from other university-based arts programs.
We believe human expression is central to a culture’s quality of life and its legacy, affirming no place provides a better training ground and foundation for developing tools for that expression than a university-based arts program.
We are an evolutionary minded college, constantly striving for the next level of creative excellence.
We encourage our faculty, staff and students to approach all problems, situations and creative opportunities with aesthetic, analytical, and conceptual thinking.
We celebrate the relationships created within the college and radiating out through the university and surrounding communities.
We embrace technology as a valuable tool for teaching art, as a frequent asset for the creation of great works of art, and for its ability to advance accessibility to, participation in and awareness of the arts.
We believe the individual excellence of each of our six academic departments form the powerful synergy that is at the core of this vital and extraordinary arts college.
