The
Department of Art at YSU prepares students to become artists, designers,
art educators or art historians. As part of a cultural milieu, students
will witness a wide variety of styles, philosophies and histories.
They will be exposed to various techniques, processes and experiences
in the development of a commitment to their work, their community and
to the outside world. Expanded visual horizons as well as exposure to
various histories will enable students to look both within themselves
and outside in a broader cultural context.
Education in the arts is paradoxical. Art making and the study of art require skills training as well as perceptual awareness. Participation in the process is the primary means of education. Students and faculty alike are immersed in the quest for knowledge and creative self-realization, whether it is in the form of computer graphics, printmaking or the study of art from the past.
The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredit Youngstown State University, in an accreditation that includes all undergraduate and graduate programs. In addition, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), an organization whose membership includes 250 schools out of approximately 2,000 art departments nationally, accredit the Department of Art.
