"A true artist is not one who is inspired but one who inspires others."
— Salvador Dali
You are a creator. You dream of building new worlds using multiple art forms and sculpting an idea to
make it reality. Learn about the tools needed to succeed as an artist in courses like 2D design, 3D
design, ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, expanded media, and sculpture. Additional
subject areas (or courses) outside these disciplines include interdisciplinary studio,
jewelry metals, printmaking, and video.
A degree in fine arts provides students with experience in problem-solving, creative
thinking, and innovation required for many career opportunities in the arts and beyond.
Students will gain a working knowledge of art and design principles, skills, and applications
