Art Education Program

Arts Education transforms students into critical observers and problem solvers. The primary goal is not to train students to become practicing artists, but to develop their critical eye and open up to new avenues to creative possibilities.

Art History Program

Our programs prepare students for a wide range of careers that value observation, analysis and expression. Art History majors work in museums, galleries, auction houses, schools, colleges, and libraries, as well as in public relations, law, and publishing.

Graphic Design Program

The graphic design program at Minnesota State Mankato will help you develop the conceptual, visual, and technical skills needed to enter the design profession with confidence. We offer several content areas, including branding, editorial, web, and motion design.
