What is the best part about the department?

"The professors are what I love. These men and women make you feel appreciated. They always know your name and recognize your work. They're amazing in their field and have top-notch experience. They have spunky personalities. They lecture, but it's fun. They make learning enjoyable."
Allie Temple


"In my classes, I'm able to create things, instead of only learning theory. As a junior, I've already developed a portfolio of my photography, designed publications and completed an internship."
Rachel Scott


"The biggest assurance I've had has been alumni feedback. Not only have I heard that the faculty prepare you, many of my friends who have graduated rave about how helpful professors were in their job search."
Chelsea Nivens
