Welcome to the Art & Design Department

The Cal Poly Art and Design Department offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with major concentrations in graphic design, photography & digital imaging, and studio art. We are accredited by NASAD, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design as a professional degree program.

With its emphasis on solid foundations and the development of studio practice tied to a focus on conceptual abilities, Cal Poly Art & Design has built a national reputation for producing graduates with an ability to contribute and innovate in their chosen field. The quality of our students is exceptional. The evidence of this is highlighted in the publication titled "capstone: 2006" which you can view on this opening page. Printed on the Cal Poly campus, the book contains spreads created by 47 of our graduating seniors from spring of 2006. Take a look.
