Art and Design Department Updates Regarding COVID-19

Hello! Thank you for visiting the Art and Design department webpage. As you know, the COVID-19 situation has brought on many rapid changes that are ongoing. However, our desire to promote student learning and success has not changed! Please take a moment to read the following information items:

The Art and Design Department Office:

As we begin the Fall 2022 semester, the campus has returned to a fully populated campus. The Art and Design department office will hold normal business hours. Email is still the best way to contact and communicate with a member of the department. If you do need to call, though, the number is (310) 243-3310

The College of Arts and Humanities phone number is (310) 243-3389

Information regarding advising in the major is at the bottom.

Generally speaking, e-mail gives you the best way to contact us. Of course, if you have a question regarding your Art and Design classes, you should contact your instructor directly. If you want more general information and want to e-mail the department, it’s a good idea to include our office administrator and the department chair. General advising questions can be directed to department chair, Jim Keville. See contact information below and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible.
