Students are guided by full-time studio art faculty, art historians and lecturers who represent a diverse range of art specializations and aesthetic directions. The department's visiting artist program complements the faculty effort by inviting artists of regional and national prominence to conduct lectures, workshops and critiques.

In addition, faculty are active in a number of professional associations. Individual faculty members have received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, from NSF, S.C.
