...to the Website of the Visual Arts Department at Cal State Fullerton. Nestled between the ocean and the mountains in Fullerton, California we are located thirty miles east of downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood and in close proximity to major museums, galleries and the entertainment and design communities of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Our faculty, alumni and students participate in the energized twenty-first century Southern California fine art and commercial art scene. We teach, we learn, we experiment and explore in this exciting environment.
We are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design to offer a full range of undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Each student is encouraged to develop a philosophical and personal direction while focusing on a specialization that meets the needs of today's complex mix of art and technology.
Perhaps the single outstanding characteristic of the department is the open and free communication among faculty, students and staff, coupled with a mutual respect and encouragement for all to excel. Central to the success of our specific programs of study is a strong team of full-time artist-teachers, augmented by an equally strong corps of part-time specialists.
I invite you to read on and learn more about our programs and the students, faculty and staff. We are dedicated to helping you achieve your dream of becoming a college graduate and a successful fine artist, animator, illustrator or designer.
