UNC’s School of Art and Design stands out for its practical, pre-professional approach. You’ll develop technical skills, while learning to market yourself effectively as a creative professional, freelancer or entrepreneur. Our Art and Design program grants you a high degree of independence, enabling you to focus the program on your own artistic interests and career pursuits.
With small classes and engaged faculty, you’ll get lots of one-on-one attention and mentoring. You’ll work in up-to-date facilities that support a full range of art-making techniques and processes, including photography, ceramics, painting, computer graphics and more. The program includes exhibition opportunities both on campus and off, as well as the chance to prepare for the workplace via internships, student teaching placements and other hands-on experiences. The program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
