Shepherd University Department of Contemporary Art

The programs in the Department of Contemporary Art are designed to provide students with a diversified experience in art and an in-depth experience in one major concentration area. Students are challenged and encouraged to grow creatively and professionally as artists, graphic designers, photographers, and teachers. They progress through a carefully-developed series of courses mixing the development of technical skills, language, and theories of the visual arts with the broad-based knowledge of the liberal arts essential to artists in the complex contemporary world.
