Each semester there is a special topics course taught by a faculty member with an individual area of interest, such as collage and mixed media or painting as installation. In such courses, the boundaries of the medium are often broadened and there is great room for discovery. Each student may individualize the program through a set of directed studies course with content generated in collaboration with a select faculty member. The printmaking emphasis offers courses in a number of techniques including etching, lithography, screen-printing, monoprinting, photo-transfer processes, block printing, book arts, papermaking, and computer based imaging.
