The ever-accelerating advance of technology is bringing down borders and transforming our world into a global community—a diverse community in need of a common language. Art has always been an influential voice, and today the potential for the communicative power of art is greater than ever. Today’s world needs the visual arts.

At Texas State, we strive to educate our students to not only master traditional media and skills of art and design, but also to think, research and problem-solve. This rich combination approach provides a strong foundation for mastery and equips students to communicate a personal vision or a client’s vision. The faculty of the School of Art and Design aim for our graduates to make significant contributions to the world of art and design and to take leadership roles within their communities.

Our facilities provide students with state-of-the-art resources. This, coupled with the excellence of our nationally and internationally recognized faculty, allows us to offer our students outstanding academic curricula and a broad scope of professional expertise.
