该系将视觉艺术的经验和实践（尤其是在本科阶段）视为跨学科的追求。在艺术专业内，提供的五个领域是艺术史，陶瓷，绘画，版画和雕塑。该艺术系学生参与了Haggerty艺术村的艺术和学术环境，并获得了独立学习产品，研究生的到来以及在校园和达拉斯/沃思堡地区的展览和收藏以及来访艺术家的刺激和讲师。所有这些都构成了艺术发展所需要的真实环境。学生们通过各种当代方法研究三维表达。通过直接使用各种雕塑材料和技术，包括青铜，金属制品，石材，木材和发现的物体，可以实现自我表达的实用性和概念性增长。
The department views the experience and practice of the visual arts, particularly at the undergraduate level, as an interdisciplinary pursuit. Within the art major, the five areas offered are art history, ceramics, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The art student is involved in the artistic and scholarly environment of the Haggerty Art Village, with stimulation provided by independent study offerings, the presence of graduate students, and on-campus and Dallas/Fort Worth area exhibitions and collections, as well as visiting artists and lecturers. All of these construct the real environment needed for growth in the arts.The students study three-dimensional expression through a variety of contemporary approaches. Both practical and conceptual growth of self-expression takes place through the direct use of diverse sculptural materials and techniques including bronze, fabricated metal, stone, wood, and found objects.
