The visual arts program offers courses in foundation art classes such as drawing, design and art appreciation and specialization classes such as painting, watercolor, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, computer arts and art history. A new 33,000 square foot Visual Arts Centre has just been completed at the north end of the Spring Creek Campus. All labs include professional quality equipment such as an intaglio printing press, a variety of ceramic kilns, electric pottery wheels and a metal casting foundry as well as multi-media presentation equipment. The new art wing includes increased gallery and exhibition space.

Seminars in professional practices help prepare students to function as visual artists. Professors are highly trained, practicing artists who are dedicated to encouraging the individual student to reach his or her highest level of skill and creativity.

Annually, the Visual Arts Department provides students with various opportunities to participate in art exhibits, panel discussions on selected art topics, visiting artists demonstrations, and portfolio reviews by representatives of area universities. Scholarships are awarded annually by competitions, which include two- and three-dimensional artwork.
