Cultivate your imagination and resourcefulness through the Texas A&M University-Commerce Department of Art.

As an art student at A&M-Commerce, you'll build a strong foundation of practical knowledge-in the natural sciences, humanities, mathematics, history, political science, the arts, and the behavioral and social sciences to develop as a well-rounded individual. This foundation prepares you to explore your personal vision through increasingly specialized study of visual mediums.
