OPPORTUNITIES
At LSU, students have access to thefacilitiesthey need to create and learn.On-campus and off-sitegalleriesoffer robust program calendars and exhibit the work of local and national artists.Visiting artistswork closely with graduate students and advanced undergraduates in studio classes and participate in individual critiques.Despite the abundance of student resources on campus, we believe that travel is crucial to an education in art and design.From field studies, excursions, and site visits to museum tours andstudy abroad programs, our students get around.
OUR STUDENTS
Students in our programs learn to work independently as well as collaboratively, and they develop a vocabulary with which to critique and discuss their own work and that of their peers.They learn how to be critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and well-rounded communicators.Through coursework in the studio art and design disciplines, art history and contemporary art theory, as well as the liberal arts and sciences, students foster the skills, understanding, and philosophical frameworks necessary to make their art and design practices relevant to historical and contemporary issues.Read more.
