The Art Department Mission

The PSU Art Department is dedicated to providing an eclectic program which encourages the study of histories, theories, criticisms and the making of Visual Art and Design.  We are committed to building a comprehensive and substantive foundation of skills and knowledge within and across the disciplines, to cultivating each student’s individual creative spirit and voice, and to nurturing respect for humanistic and multi-aesthetic values and creative processes.  We value the richness of diversity:  cultural, academic, and individual and are continually seeking ways to broaden our connections across the university, to promote service to our regional community, and to enrich the lives of our students who are at the heart of our teaching and learning.

As an art major you'll experience:

• Degree programs in studio art, art education and graphic design
• Minors in art, art history, ceramics, drawing, graphic design, painting, printmaking and sculpture
• A talented, knowledgeable and accessible faculty
• High-quality studio, lab and gallery facilities
• A balanced curriculum that values techniques and ideas
• Small class sizes, lively discussions and constructive critiques
• Opportunities for student exhibitions and installations
• National and international field trips and study away experiences
