&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You will have many opportunities to interact with faculty and visiting artists as well as working professionals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enjoy three campus galleries and plenty of chances to see student work &amp;mdash; and exhibit your own.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our program offers a number of specializations, including Ceramics, Drawing, Graphic Design, Metal and Jewelry, Painting, Photography, Printmaking and Sculpture.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our studio model means large blocks of time dedicated toward honing your art.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our program is practical: You&amp;rsquo;ll learn not only technical aspects of producing art in a studio and across disciplines, but also about high-tech components of art production.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;We are proud to be accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art &amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;Design &amp;mdash; a mark of exceptional quality and commitment to maintaining the highest standards in Art and Design collegiate education.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
