Mission and Program Assessment https://www.umflint.edu/art

Both Art and Art History are based on a curriculum that emphasizes analytical processes, critical thinking, and theoretical and technical proficiency. Students are trained as innovators, creators, communicators, theorists, and historians of art and visual culture. Program focus is on academic excellence and integrity in scholarship.

The curriculum provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to prepare them for career entry and also serve as artists in related fields, such as art education, exhibition management, curatorial work and criticism. In addition, we

cultivate a supportive learning community for both students and faculty in which intellectual curiosity and creative exploration of ideas are nurtured.
encourage student involvement in the university and greater community as artists and historians of art in related fields, engaged citizens, creative thinkers, and scholars.
