Support the Schnitzer School of Art + Art History + Design
Creative expression has untold value. It can captivate attention, foster deep learning, forge connections, and inspire curiosity. These are among the most vital human activities of our time.
PSU’s Schnitzer School of Art + Art History + Design is dedicated to helping students explore the ways that artists and their works function within a larger social context. Driven by a belief in the power of art to shape society, our School and its dynamic faculty provide space for emerging artists, designers, and art historians to question, reflect, and create.
With 1,100 undergraduate majors, a vibrant and growing graduate program, and a dedicated faculty of internationally recognized artists, designers, and scholars, we offer a place where students from a variety of backgrounds interact, exchange ideas, and cross conventional aesthetic boundaries.
These creative experiences do more than prepare students for a workforce that demands creative skills. They foster the critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative practice that are essential to solving the profound challenges facing our world today.
