Welcome! The TROY Department of Art and Design has been incubating programs of study for a new breed of artists and designers. In this age of hybrid disciplines, virtual realms and new media, it has become imperative that art and design schools birth innovative methods, experiences and strategies for preparing the artists, designers and educators of tomorrow.

If you have the same sense of anticipation for the future of visual communications as we do, you may be excited to discover our fresh approach to an arts/design education at TROY. At TROY, we are realizing the future. At TROY, your future can be realized.
