Our students have access to excellent facilities and a variety of equipment for creating art, which allows students to obtain hands-on experience in creating art, presenting lessons and writing curriculum. SIUE students are well prepared for their future careers as artist-teachers with a broad, general background in intermediate-level courses in studio art, art history, art education and professional education.

The Department of Art and Design's studio practices, safety protocols and curriculum meet national standards for teaching art.
