Shared elements within the curriculum, including the School of Art Core and Junior Year Commons, stress the fundamental relationships and overlapping interests across the disciplines. Students studying in the School of Art will be professionally prepared for a contemporary creative practice that emphasizes relational thinking supported by multiple competencies. To that end the School provides a progression through the curricula that encourages collaborative learning, individual development and the critical acquisition of knowledge and skills.
