Inspired to Create.
When you enter Maryville’s Studio Art program, you’ll be exposed to numerous types of studio experiences, and you will graduate with a diverse, top-notch portfolio.
A studio art degree is intended for the student desiring a broad exposure to the study of fine art with an opportunity to pursue a required minor or dual major in a complimentary discipline. Communication and business are among the most common academic pairings. Like all of our Design & Visual Art programs, it is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art & Design (NASAD).

WHY MARYVILLE
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
Students in any of the Design and Visual Arts programs, including studio art, have a chance to work with Maryville’s 3D printer. The printer uses thermoplastic polyester derived from renewable biological sources such as corn starch and sugarcane, and layer by layer it can create chairs and other products.
