GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM
THE DEPARTMENT OF ART
Beyond the aesthetic/formal issues of art and design are the many
philosophical, theoretical, and ideological questions and concerns
which thinking individuals choose from and/or devise to address in a
variety of ways.
There is no set agenda, however, for message
and content generated by our students. Instead we, the faculty, have
the expectation that critical thought and questioning will occur, that
intelligent ideas will be formed, and that new and exciting connections
will be discovered by each of our artists, designers, art historians,
and art educators.
Much of graduate study is consumed by the
search for specific methods, directions, and results which will then
lead to a greater body of professional research. The graduate student
is to complete this journey in an environment so saturated with
information and possibilities that uncovering any single path of
exploration is the real challenge. With the benefit of hindsight, our
graduates see clearly that the thesis wasn’t the total answer, but
rather it was the cumulative effect of their experiences here that
created growth and the potential to go on to greater things.
