School of Visual and Performing Arts

The School of Visual and Performing Arts is comprised of:

• Art and Design

Courses offered in Art and Design may be defined as Studio courses. Studio courses are intended as the point of integration for all other coursework and educational experiences. They are intended to teach critical thinking and create an environment where students are taught to question in order to create better art/design. Studio courses are defined by an emphasis on monitored practice and collaborative learning practices.
