PERSONAL + DIVERSE
Art students at Ball State benefit from our low student-to-faculty ratio and small classes, receiving personal attention and mentoring from a diverse group of energized professors. Noted artists from across the country also visit campus to share their perspectives and interact with students.
CREATIVE + CUTTING-EDGE
From two-dimensional media to sculpture, ceramics, metals, and graphic design, Ball State art students create their own works in state-of-the-art studios and exhibit them in attractive gallery spaces. Teaching majors gain hands-on experience through our Saturday Children's Art Classes, and our new emphases in electronic art and animation incorporate cutting-edge technology and digital media for the 21st century.
