Its curriculum features innovative teaching and learning environments, paired with an emphasis on emerging arts and design technologies and the active roles of artists and designers in cultivating a just and ethical society.

Our courses intersect faculty commitments to justice, accessibility, equity, diversity, and inclusion along cultural, gender, racial, economic, and social dimensions with commitments to expanding access to innovative arts education, re-contextualizing and challenging Western and other hegemonic frameworks for art and design, and amplifying marginalized and historically silenced voices.
