Overview

Coursework is designed to balance studio time with critical inquiry that takes advantage of the research university environment.

The Art program of the University of Minnesota places major emphasis on creative artistic work of high quality. We promote not only the conceptual and technical education of the professional artist in artistic practice, encouraging critical inquiry, excellence, and an understanding of the history of art, but also an experimental approach toward each media.
