Within our degree programs, the Department of Art encourages its students to explore a variety of areas of study.

The Department of Art provides more than 13,000 square feet of newly renovated studios for ceramics and sculpture in the university’s Robertshaw building, a converted factory space. Sprowls Hall, a modern, five-story complex, houses fully equipped studios for all other studio areas, including the Center for Turning and Furniture Design.
