The School of Visual + Media Arts fosters growth of mind through the practice and appreciation of art-making. Studio-based classes and workshops nurture creative expression in the traditional studio arts as well as in digitally based graphic design and animation classes. At the same time, coursework in art history, film culture and theory provide perspective for students as they develop their skills and learn to recognize and describe the impact of art in society.

SVMA students are welcomed into a community of practicing artists where they gain access to a variety of specialized facilities in the Norick Art Center including studio space for printmaking, ceramics, graphic design, sculpture, digital design and animation, motion capture, and analog and digital photography. There’s also a dedicated screening room and specialized facilities for digital film production and post-production in the Dawson-Loeffler building. The Hulsey Gallery complements these facilities by offering dedicated space to showing varied exhibitions throughout the year, including shows that feature student capstones and faculty work, and a vibrant series of visiting artists and artists in residence. In addition, SVMA students are strongly encouraged to make connections in the Oklahoma City art scene through personally matched internships and group exhibitions.

Undergraduate students from throughout the university may also consider complementing their major with one of the minors administered by the school: Photography, Studio Art, Graphic Design, or Digital Film and Media.
