Mission Statement

Ringling School of Art and Design recognizes that artists and designers play a significant role in society. The School's primary mission is to provide programs leading to a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree that prepare students to be discerning visual thinkers and ethical practitioners in their chosen area of art and design. Visual arts professionals must understand diverse aspects of past and present cultures, and develop their capacity for creative expression and effective communication. Ringling School of Art and Design's curriculum, therefore, balances the teaching of technical knowledge and skills with the development of critical, conceptual and creative abilities and supports courses that provide historical, multicultural, global and future perspectives. Ringling School faculty consists of professionally active and teaching-oriented artists, designers and scholars. Ringling School of Art and Design strives to enroll both full- and part-time students from diverse backgrounds who intend to become professionals in the visual arts. Through its policies and practices, the School supports excellence in teaching and fosters the aesthetic, intellectual, professional, personal and social development of its students. Academic programs and advising, career services, and an extensive cocurricular student life program prepare students for an art or design profession, or when appropriate, for continued studies on the graduate level. In addition to its degree program, Ringling School offers courses, lectures, exhibitions and other art-related services to the local and regional community through its gallery, library, continuing education and community service programs. Through the efforts of its Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, alumni and friends, Ringling School endeavors to provide the necessary resources, services and environment to fulfill its institutional mission. Founded in 1931, Ringling School of Art and Design is a private, independent, nonprofit, four-year college.
