Art and Design

The Art and Design Program at USI prepares students to become creative and open-minded citizens through degree programs that blend the traditional core of liberal arts and science education with the most current technical art and art history knowledge and skills.

The Art & Design Department at USI offers a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Fine Arts with concentrations in Art History, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interactive Media, Photography, and Studio.

The Visual Art P-12 Teaching major is also available as a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science for students interested in teaching.
