Division of Art, Design and Architecture
Judson University has invested in a major new facility that houses the Division as well as the Central Library. It is one of a kind in the United States, and is a learning laboratory for earth stewardship.
The Judson University Division of Art, Design and Architecture is a Christ-centered community of architects, artists and designers, appreciating our diversity, embracing critical and creative excellence, developing the visual and spatial imagination, and modeling stewardship and hope in service to local and global communities (Division Mission Statement, v.2007).
Oh, yeah, you also get to have a life.
Judson University offers degree programs in Architecture, Fine Art Studio, Visual Communications (Graphic Design) and Interior Design (NEW!). Housed in a brand new LEED Gold facility along side the central library, with dedicated studio spaces for all design students, fine art studio spaces for all art students, and a context of Christian community, the Division is rapidly becoming known as a place to study and grow in creativity and excellence. The Division includes 275 students supported by a faculty of 12 full time professors. The quintessential American city of Chicago is near at hand, along with all the amenities of the Chicago art scene, great Chicago architecture, NEOCON, as well as unlimited cultural events.
Judson students know how to have fun and enjoy lifetime friendships.
If you are looking for a place to grow spiritually as well as intellectually, Judson University is the place for you. Visit our campus during a UNIVERSITY PREVIEW on February 15, 2008 or April 4, 2008, or contact a counselor to arrange a private visit at admissions@judsonu.edu.
Summer Design Discovery Workshop
Each summer, Judson University hosts a design discovery workshop taught by faculty and recent graduates. This week-long camp is for high school students interested in learning more about majors and careers in art, interior design, graphic design and architecture. Spend a week with other students from around the country getting a taste of academics, campus living, and tours of important Chicago museums and offices.
Judson graduates are excellent students and make for excellent teachers.
