<ul>
<li>A learning environment rich in the diversity of thought and creative opportunity.</li>
<li>A core foundation of skills that students can draw on to produce meaningful and engaging works with diverse objectives, meant for a variety of audiences.</li>
<li>A wide range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional course opportunities to enhance a major area of concentration.</li>
