In addition to academic studies, you can participate in exhibition opportunities to prepare for your future career.
The skills gained through studying art (such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative enterprise) intersect with all disciplines and help develop abilities needed to excel in a variety of careers.
Our graduates have accepted professional assignments with non-profit organizations, public school systems, museums, community organizations, businesses and think-tanks. Some students go on to set up studios, open galleries, become curators and begin their own studio practices. Others use their Capstone portfolios to apply to (and get accepted by) some of the best graduate programs in the country.
Overall, a career in art is often both exciting and rewarding.
