Create meaning. Engage with other artists. Discover your creative potential.
As you develop your talents and become proficient in a variety of studio art media, you will learn what it means to make, experience and feel art. Attract minds and hearts with your artwork as art viewers mull the complexities or simplicities of your piece. Make people think about the world, their communities, and themselves. Develop a knowledge of art and focus on training in a specific medium such as ceramics, expressive ecopsychology, fibers, painting, photography, printmaking, or sculpture.
A studio art undergraduate degree from UW-Superior will give you the opportunity to study under accomplished artists who take a vested interest in helping you achieve your goals. You’ll have opportunities to create and exhibit your art and prepare for a career doing what you love.

I thought it was a very beautiful campus and it felt safe, safer than a lot of other campuses I toured. There seemed to be more opportunities with professors helping me with beyond what they need to do. And that is kind of what brought me here.
I feel like I actually got more opportunities at UWS than I would have at a larger university. My visual arts professors knew me well and were so supportive. They helped me in so many ways.
