The University of Lynchburg art major will help you develop your skills as an artist or designer, expanding your vision and repertoire. You’ll be able to explore mediums like painting, sculpting, and printmaking, while also learning about art history and visual communication.
Our faculty are experienced artists who are passionate about teaching. They know what it takes to make it as an artist or designer today — they’ve done it themselves! And our students get one-on-one time with them in our studios and labs, where they can hone their style. It doesn’t matter if you want to be an illustrator, graphic designer, or art teacher — we’ll prepare you for success!

- Gain a well-rounded education in art and design.
