Thank you for your interest in the visual arts at the University of Mount Olive. 

The Department of Visual Arts' mission is to provide educational opportunities that will enable our students to become competent in the theory and practice of visual art. The department will emphasize technical proficiency, conceptual understanding, increased awareness of the student's artistic talents, and the role of the arts in society, including experiential learning and interdisciplinary opportunities.

Our departmental faculty provide a diversity of expertise and experience, which we share with our majors through anecdotal discussion and classroom skill development.

​

Our department is small and our majors and art faculty are close-knit as a department. Our class sizes are also small, and one-on-one instruction is the rule rather than the exception. Our faculty encourages interaction with our majors even if students are not in a specific class with a faculty member. Our studio class sizes range from six to nine students on average.
