By now, you've seen first-hand how art transforms lives and culture. In fact, you
                     can probably think of at least one teacher who has helped you find and hone your artistic
                     voice. You can be that influence for someone else! Working together, TROY's Department
                     of Art and Design and College of Education will prepare you to teach and influence
                     promising young artists. At TROY, not only will you continue to build onto your artistic
                     skills, but you'll gain skills that will allow you to captivate imaginations, impart
                     knowledge and teach techniques to your future students.
