The School of Art and Design provides undergraduate education culminating in a Bachelor of Arts in Art. This program aims to deliver fundamental theoretical knowledge, technical skill development, and creative opportunities crucial for professional careers and advanced studies in visual arts. Degree candidates benefit from committed faculty with diverse specializations spanning ceramics, exhibition curation, furniture craftsmanship, jewelry making, painting techniques, photographic arts, sculptural works, and community-based art initiatives. SDSU's ceramics program emphasizes harmonizing traditional craftsmanship with modern artistic concepts and relevant themes. Learners explore the complete spectrum of ceramic arts while cultivating their unique creative vision and conceptual approaches. Participants may concentrate on either sculptural creations or functional pottery designs. The curriculum regularly hosts guest artists to facilitate varied student engagement opportunities. Since ceramics belongs to the Applied Design concentration (encompassing jewelry/metalsmithing, woodcraft, and textile arts), interdisciplinary media integration is promoted when suitable.
