Overview

Art is a potent and positive force for change in contemporary society, and Cal Poly Humboldt’s Department of Art + Film is dedicated to educating the students who will shape the culture of our collective future.

The hands-on techniques that you’ll learn in the small, intimate classrooms, studios, and galleries will allow you to address issues, ethics, history, and culture with a unique and personal vision in your career.

Art Education at the California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt gives students the tools they need to help others create and appreciate art. Humboldt's Art + Film Department offers an approved subject matter waiver program through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Careers

Alumni have gone on to pursue careers that harness the creative thinking, critical inquiry skills, and communication skills they developed at Humboldt. Art students find a strong foundation in communication skills, informing and explaining ideas, describing and evaluating ideas, problems, and events, and observing people, data, and visual information.
