Catalog | Department of Art and Architecture | University of San Francisco

All our programs serve a fundamental tenet of Jesuit education: that the arts function as a powerful means for the communication of human and spiritual

values, the development of the whole person, and the promotion of human dignity.

Learning Outcomes

Students will gain a solid historical foundation from the inception of pre-historical art, to the most recent historical contextualizations of

contemporary art, with a wide knowledge of the cultural diversity of art movements and their associated critical theories, both locally and globally.

Students will gain a solid foundation in the technical skills and conceptual skills involved in the production of visual artwork while being nurtured in

a creative environment that encourages experimentation. Instruction in a variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional media, as well as timebased art will teach students how to use these skills to ?nd their own individual artistic voices.

Students will be experienced in evaluating the success and professional quality of their own artwork and the artwork of their peers, through the

regular classroom process of rigorous, yet supportive, group and individual critiques.

Students will graduate with a deep appreciation and knowledge of how to use their skills as visual artists to help to create social change and to

help transform the world. Visual Art students will graduate with solid connection to, and working relationships with, local, national and international

community-based organizations, educational institutions, art galleries and art museums; paving their paths for continued and future associations

with the world beyond USF as graduate students, artists and as citizens.

Catalog | Architecture & Community Design (Major) | University of San Francisco

This Major draws from the University's diverse resources and faculty to form a unique interdisciplinary program of study with the aim to comprehend and

in?uence our built environment and its relationship to the macrocosm through the discipline of design. Through this process we train students to become

impassioned readers, interpreters, actors and designers of their cities, institutions, and communities.

Learning Outcomes

Students will:

gain a historical foundation of architecture from pre-history to recent developments in the ?eld, through a broad and inclusive approach to the

range of social and economic factors affecting the design of world cities and buildings.

develop familiarity with social justice issues in under-served communities and developing regions of the world as well as more traditional

perspectives on architectural history.

develop critical skills and methodologies of inquiry, analysis, conceptual development, and resolution and presentation of design ideas.

Learn to integrate aspects of site, program, space, structure and material to create designs for buildings, which also actively respond to the

historical, cultural, social and political exigencies of time and place.

develop analytical tools that give attention to the various historic and social forces that intersect to create the built environment.

gain a solid foundation in technical and conceptual design skills, enabling them to present their architectural ideas visually, verbally and in writing

to clients, associates, and communities at the grass roots and municipal levels.

graduate with the knowledge and skills enabling them to facilitate positive change to built environments in the world.
