The Mission of the Department of Art is to support and enhance the University’s “educational process” in a dynamic mode by offering learning opportunities in Art to the people of Southwest Oklahoma through appropriate degree programs and concomitant service curricula and activities.

Paramount too, is a belief by faculty that the Department’s programs should manifest to students that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong endeavor leading to one’s potential in life. Réduire
