SCHOOL STRUCTURE

The College of Arts and Architecture, one of eleven colleges on the University Park campus, is the home of seven schools and departments offering programs in the visual arts, music, theatre, architecture, landscape architecture, art history, and integrative arts.

The Penn State School of Visual Arts is part of the College of Arts and Architecture. Cultural opportunities for students are enhanced through the University's proximity to New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. Penn State College of Arts and Architecture School of Visual Arts' programs are housed in five campus buildings. The comprehensive facilities offer students a wide variety of instructional space, tools, and equipment within each of the school's programs. A large, well-equipped wood and metal shop serves the entire school, as do five Macintosh computer-design laboratories.

Additionally, the Penn State School of Visual Arts maintains ongoing exhibitions in its teaching art galleries. All of its buildings are in close proximity to Penn State's Palmer Museum of Art. An excellent arts library serves the University Park campus and provides extensive resources for study and research.
