Our undergraduate and graduate programs empower students in our School of Art with a core of knowledge that provides a solid educational base. Our students are prepared for careers in the Fine Arts by a passionate faculty, rigorous academic endeavors, and a world-class professional practice (co-op) program.

An adjunct instructor in the School of Art may be asked to teach courses in Art Education, Art History or Fine Arts according to his or her experience and qualifications.
