Our department focuses on helping students develop technical proficiency in specific areas of studio art and art history, while also stressing an interdisciplinary approach to viewing and making art that emphasizes critical thinking and writing.
This inquiry–based program, combined with our talented faculty and small student-to-faculty ratio, is what makes us a top school in the Southeast. Our liberal arts approach fosters creativity alongside an entrepreneurial mindset that prepares students to be innovative problem solvers. Our flexible curriculum not only encourages double majors, but entices our students to partner and collaborate with other studies in areas of Business and Accounting, Communication, English, Psychology, Sustainable Science and more. Understanding how images communicate messages is a vital skill, and regardless of your post–graduate plans, earning a coveted degree in art or art history with financial security is possible for our Furman University graduates.
