College of Art, Media and Design

The College of Art, Media and Design (CAMD) comprises undergraduate and graduate programs in Design, Visual Arts and Film. The curricula that make up the several areas of the College focus on different forms of specialized knowledge and practice that enable artists and designers to create particular kinds of expressive artifacts. 

Because art, media and design are modes of problem solving, of understanding and analyzing phenomena, of advancing arguments or developing insights, these programs teach not only skills and discipline-specific knowledge, but also a way of thinking, understanding and knowing.

In addition to educating students and preparing them for professional success and leadership in their fields, the College of Art, Media and Design produces artists and designers who have the capacity to be creatively self-sustaining and self critical.

Graduates from these programs are able to generate and evaluate new challenges for themselves and are willing to take chances, to fail and to start over again. These values and capabilities will enable our graduates not only to succeed as artists, but to become engaged, intelligent, creative individuals and citizens.
