As we enter an era of creativity and innovation, studying art and design at Marshall University offers a dynamic and rewarding experience. The School of Art & Design Faculty will challenge you to bring bold ideas, innovative thinking, and academic excellence to your projects, classes, and collaborations. In return, you’ll find a dynamic, inclusive, and hands-on learning environment, shaped by opportunities to work closely with passionate faculty, engage in real-world experiences, and present your work through exhibitions, internships, and professional networking.
SOAD emphasizes hands-on learning, collaboration, and professional development. With guidance from dedicated faculty, you’ll develop your artistic voice, learn marketable skills, and begin your professional career as an artist, designer, educator, or scholar.
Academic success also involves active participation beyond the classroom. Exhibitions, artist talks, internships, competitions, student groups, and community projects are vital to your growth. Art & Design faculty will help you engage with these opportunities.
We look forward to supporting your creative journey.
