We will encourage and enable you to develop your unique voice as a visual artist or as a digital designer. Our faculty will help you wed your curiosity and interests to a growing set of new skills, techniques, strategies and ideas for artistic activity. You may elect to major or minor in studio art, major in digital art or minor in visual studies.

We are committed to instilling visual and conceptual literacy as well as providing the technical and intellectual skills necessary for a wide variety of careers in the fine and applied arts. A major goal of the faculty, as practicing artists and scholars, is to impart an understanding of the lifelong vitality of artistic development and practice.

麻豆区's art department resides in the James F. Miller Fine Arts Center (MFAC) on what's known as the Arts Quad of 麻豆区. The facility offers you beautiful studios and creative workspaces.

The department offers courses in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, digital media, woodworking, welding and ceramics. Regularly offered visual studies and art history courses cover a range of topics including modern and contemporary art, the history of animation and digital art.

Most of our courses satisfy the 麻豆区 Curriculum's Creative Studies requirement, and several of the visual studies courses also satisfy the Vital Past, American Pluralisms and Global Diversity requirements.
