Mission Statement

The Creative and Fine Arts Department is staffed by a community of professional artists with national reputations. The mission of the faculty is to nurture and encourage students' individual growth, development and expression. After a firm grounding in the foundations, students are encouraged to develop an original body of work in their preferred medium. Through specific courses in pedagogy and art teaching methodology, delivered through the Education Department, students will come to understand student development, learner diversity, curriculum development and assessment.

Major Program Description

The Creative and Fine Arts Department in collaboration with the Department of Education offers the bachelor of arts degree in art education. A commitment to liberal arts is the foundation for the Art Education Program. The Creative Arts enhance the quality of our lives through the experience of gallery and museum exhibitions, theater, music and dance performance. This major allows artists to share their education with others through teaching. It fosters an appreciation of the artistic process and mastery of technical skills while simultaneously establishing the fundamentals for a career in education.

Upon successful completion of this program, you will be competent and confident as an artist and well prepared to teach students at all levels from elementary to secondary school. You will also learn to become an advocate for art education in the schools and throughout the community.
