Shippensburg University Visual Arts Department is a place of learning, personal growth, and artistic development. Our students come from a cross-section of the United States and the world. Some are already serious artists who have known for a long time that they would pursue a career in the arts, but for others, art is a discovery they have recently made. Some of our students are intent on earning lots of money in their artistic futures, while others are purely romantic in their love of the arts.
While at Shippensburg, our students are provided with a strong foundation in the arts, and offered opportunities to learn a specialty such as ceramics, painting, sculpture, printmaking, art history, art education certification, computer design or computer graphics, an interdisciplinary concentration with the Computer Science Department. Along with art courses, our students also take academic courses in english, math and the sciences. Students choose from a wide variety of general education courses to fulfill their graduation requirements.
