The Art + Design program begins the same for each art student – with foundational studio art classes in drawing, design, and art history that prepare students for the study of art or design at the University level. As a sophomore, students participate in studio classes featuring a broad range of media including ceramics, graphic design, painting, photography, and sculpture. This important time of exploration gives students the insight to decide (or confirm) the direction for the remainder of his/her degree program.

Lander University students were recently honored for their academic accomplishments by the College of Arts and Humanities.
Looking out the car window at clouds on family road trips inspired the gloriously bright paintings that Kephira Davis created for Lander University’s third annual Uptown Art Walk and BFA Senior Exhibit.
In May, Seth Stogner, of Park City, Utah, and Emily Mathis, of Columbia, will graduate from Lander University’s new Master of Fine Arts program, becoming the first students ever to earn the terminal degree from Lander.
