Art & Design at Judson
We believe God created you for a reason.
And we believe God gave you a unique blend of talents. Our goal is not only to prepare you for a successful career, but to help you discover and nurture these talents so that you can shape world.
In the Art & Design Department, we value excellence, opportunity and community.
Excellence
Our 79 credit hour Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) programs, Studio Art, Graphic Design, and Art: Photography will prepare you to succeed as a creative professional. If you’re are interested in combining art with another area of study, our 55 credit hour Bachelor of Arts (BA) program in Art will allow you to add a second major or minor.
Opportunity
Our location on the edge of a world-class city makes visiting museums, galleries, and studios affordable and routine. Creative professionals stop by our beautiful campus for exhibitions, lectures, and critiques. Required internships will prepare you for life after graduation, and if you’re eager to travel, our students have studied in places such as Italy, Australia, England, New York, and Los Angeles.
community
Our studio culture is both challenging and supportive. Students work closely with faculty who care about their success, and classmates often become life-long friends and collaborators. Connect with successful alumni through the Art & Design Mentoring Program. Find inspiration on our fall Creative Retreat. Join our student chapter of AIGA: The Professional Association for Design, and meet a variety of creative professionals through our Lecture and Exhibition Series.
