    USM art students enjoy 24-hour access to Xavier Studios (drawing/design,painting/printmaking studios, and a Mac computer lab) as well as access to the darkroom and ceramic studio.

    Unique opportunities available at USM include a variety of exhibition opportunities, service-learning projects within classes, honors work and internship experiences.

    Regardless of your concentration, all USM art majors learn valuable career skills. As a senior, you'll pull it all together presenting your best work in a Senior Show during the USM Student Art Exhibit at the end of the semester.
