ART THERAPY
Program Director:Robert Tavani, M.A., M.F.A., A.T.R Art Therapy describes both a creative process and a profession. It is the use of Art to foster awareness, clarity, vitality, and wholeness. The program provides experiences, education, and training in Art and Psychology that leads to caring, giving, compassionate graduates. We use guest specialists, lectures, demonstrations, the seminar approach, class presentations, and other education methods, but our learning goes beyond the usual. We promote the value and importance of non-verbal expression. Our students frequently conceptualize the problems and solutions by making art; using story and narrative; creating research journals; playing games and roles and by using creative and expressive experiences that utilize all of the Arts.

STUDIO ART
Program Director: Gary Cardot, M.A, M.F.A. The studio art program emphasizes hands-on learning, stresses craftsmanship and good design, and strives for excellence in the production of art. Students come to us with gifts, talent, focus, passion, and imagination. We, in turn, provide the environment and guidance that are needed to develop a disciplined approach to the making of art. The concentration is primarily designed as a preparation for graduate school and further professional study, but because of the variety of studio experiences students also pursue careers in design, publication, and gallery and museum work. In addition to course requirements, students must successfully complete Sophomore Review and complete a visual thesis in the form of an exhibition.
