Academic programs

The School of Art & Design's academic programs and projects focus on generating new creative work, integrating the cultures of art and design, and engaging with the University, region, and national and international communities.

Undergraduate

A&D offers four undergraduate programs: a BFA in Art & Design, a BA in Art & Design, Dual Admission / Double Degree Programs with eight other university schools and colleges, and the new Interarts Performance BFA, jointly offered with the School of Music, Theater and Dance. A&D also offers a Minor in Art and Design.

Beginning in Fall 2010, all A&D undergraduate students will be required to engage in a substantive international experience. Local and regional engagement is also a priority, and BFA candidates are required to complete at least one "engagement studio” working directly with individuals or groups in Southeastern Michigan.

Graduate

The A&D offers three graduate level degrees: a three-year MFA in Art & Design, a PhD in Design Science offered cooperatively by the School of Art & Design, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Ross School of Business, and the Department of Psychology, and a MFA in Art & Design / MBA in Business Dual Degree Program.

Middle- and High-School Educational Programs

A&D offers summer programs for middle school and high school students. Included in the A&D offerings are BFA Prep and Portfolio Prep residential programs for high school students, Summer Portfolio Day for students who have completed their junior year of high school, and a week-long Day Camp for regional middle school students.

Faculty and Staff

A&D employs over 40 full-time faculty. Fifteen of the full-time faculty hold dual appointments in A&D and another discipline at the University. Another 15 faculty, based in University disciplines outside of A&D, are jointly appointed in A&D. Two of A&D's current professors, Phoebe Gloeckner and Endi Poskovic are recipients of the Guggenheim Fellowship (2008 and 2011 respectively). 40 other administrative and technical staff support the A&D programs.

Exhibitions

A&D maintains four galleries for the presentation of creative work by students, faculty, staff, and the larger community of artists/designers, as well as PLAY, an online gallery space devoted to time-based work.

Lectures and Visitors Program

A&D offers two visitors programs – the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speakers Series and the Roman J. Witt Visitors Program. Both are funded by Penny W. and E. Roe Stamps. The Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Visitors Series brings emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the School to conduct a public lecture and engage with students, faculty, and the larger University and Ann Arbor communities. Recent visiting artists and lecturers have included Temple Grandin, Matthew Ritchie, Michael Moore, Paula Scher, Bob Mankoff, Marina Abramovic, Theo Jansen, Sir Ken Robinson, Trimpin, Chip Kidd, Peter Chung, Wangechi Mutu, Natasha Tsakos, Laurie Anderson and DJ Spooky. The Distinguished Visitors Series takes place at the historic Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor.

Facilities

A&D maintains several facilities devoted to the practice of creative work. The main facility is located on North Campus, within the University of Michigan's 70,000 sq ft. Art and Architecture Building, which is shared with the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. North Campus is also home to the School of Music, Theater & Dance, the College of Engineering, the Duderstadt Center, Pierpont Commons, and Maya Lin's Wave Field. The main facility includes studios in clay, electromechanical work, fibers, hot and cold metals, painting, drawing, physical computing, print media (digital/hand/photographic), sculpture, video and wood. Individual undergraduate studios in the main facility are assigned to all seniors in the BFA program, while full time faculty members and graduate students are provided with individual studios in off-site buildings.
