Faculty and Staff

The faculty are committed artists and professionals who have a serious dedication to teaching and students. One strength of the Art Department at Western is that students have an opportunity to work directly with such artists. 


In accordance with WOU's mission to maximize individual development, the Art Department maintains low student-to-professor ratios, and class sizes are set in accordance with national accreditation standards. This approach supports the Art Department's commitment to working closely with students, increasing their potential for success.
