Where do you see yourself?
I’m Curious…I need to know if that creative yearning I’ve been having for a while is more than an interest.
Explore career paths and satisfy your creative curiosity by enrolling in one of our exploratory courses such as Introduction to Interior Design and Decoration, Fundamentals of Graphic Design, Introduction to Painting and Introduction to Drawing.
I’m Committed …I’m ready for art school and want to develop my admissions portfolio.
Build your portfolio for admission to our undergraduate and graduate programs by taking classes like Foundation Drawing I and 2-Dimensional Design. We also offer specialized summer portfolio building programs for high school students and prospective graduate students.
I’m Seasoned…I’m a professional artist, designer or art educator who wants to advance my skills and knowledge in the field.
Choose the classes you want from among our offerings or pursue an accelerated path to our graduate programs in Interior Design and Graphic Design.
