The SWOSU Art program has four different areas of study that allow students to focus on a specific branch of art that interests them the most. Our qualified faculty members have both national and international recognition. We offer a wide variety of opportunities to offer our students such as Art Club, Future Art Educators Association and the Graphic Design Student Association. These organizations plan field trips to galleries and museums as well as attending various art-based workshops.

Why SWOSU is the Place for the Studying Art
SWOSU's faculty and staff are as passionate about art as they are about teaching. Be it traditional or contemporary, our art department houses a cadre of celebrated faculty members with national as well as international recognition. Many of our faculty members have garnered grants and awards from the Oklahoma Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Oklahoma Humanities Council.
Clubs
As a student at SWOSU, you can expand your art knowledge outside the classroom by joining the art department's active Art Club, Graphic Design Club and Future Art Educators Blub. These clubs regularly take field trips to galleries and museums and have attended the national conference for the College Arts Association and National Design Conference in New York City and Dallas.
Internships
Internships will give you a taste of the real world. SWOSU has an in-department Graphic Design Studio internship and will help you apply for other internships in the community and region.
