Major: Art & Design Department (This Major's Salary over time)
I think Winthrop University and the Graduate faculty stretched me both as an artist and intellectualy, while some of my seminal experiences in Grad School came outside of the school, they were all then directly related to my thesis and the process within the department was conducive to a thorough exploration of my potential. The faculty was outstanding and the many talented undergraduates contributed to the vibrant quality of the Department of Art and Design. The facilities were above average and are in the process of growing and improving. Student studios were abundant but competitive distribution was required for the large numbers of students who requested them. Any problems I encountered were ultimately worked out within the department. Overall it was a unique opportunity to work with a large group of creative and energetic individuals throughout the department. Studios were occupied almost 24 hours a day by some undergrads and faculty. The campus is gracious and nicely contained. Rockhill is trying to be a college friendly town and, while it is a southern city of relative small size, it is attractive and pleasent. It is near enough to Charlotte, NC, to make that much larger city accessible.

I think a student has only to commit themselves to their art work, their passion and take advantage of the Art Departments recourses. Faculty mentors abound for the serious student.
