A commitment to high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in the visual arts is the cornerstone of the mission of the art department. Quality teaching is enhanced by the creative research endeavors of the faculty who work closely with students to stimulate aesthetic and intellectual inquiry, in both theory and application. Pursuing a degree in art prepares students to become practicing artists who possess visual literacy, cultural and historical awareness, sound aesthetic judgment and creative problem-solving skills.

 

The K-State difference

K-State art students develop a broad education in the visual arts or art history, leading to careers such as studio artist, graphic designer, jewelry designer or anything in between. Students learn from faculty who are skilled and respected in their disciplines, offering strong mentoring and real-world opportunities.

As an undergraduate, you'll have opportunities to exhibit your work, attend artist lectures and study abroad. Additionally, you can broaden your horizons through one of our student clubs and organizations, including the Student AIGA, PrairieFire Printmakers and KSU Photo Club.
