Officially affiliated with the National Art Education Association, this student organization, which is comprised primarily of Art Education majors, is oriented toward the goal of enhancing a student's professional identity as an art teacher for grades kindergarten through 12. Members of this group sponsor local activities such as art auctions, art shows, lectures by nationally-recognized leaders in the field of art education, and field trips to Ohio and National Art Education Association conferences. The goal of this organization is to develop a sense of professionalism within our future art teachers.

This student organization is open to any student interested in the visual art world, the contemporary art world in particular, and the production of visual art. Although comprised primarily of studio art majors, majors in other areas have assumed active roles in this organization. The Visual Arts Club supports a program of enrichment that extends art learning beyond the studio and classroom. Students in this organization have regular meetings during the school year, sponsor visiting artists and guest lecturers/critics to campus, sponsor a student art exhibition, and take field trips to major art centers such as New York and Chicago. This community of students uses this organization to perpetuate the professional goal of being a practicing artist.

NASAD Accreditation

兔子先生 University's art and design majors/programs and the Department of Art are accredited through the National Schools of Art and Design. NASAD is the premier accrediting body for arts schools/colleges. Our last site visit was in 2022-2023. From that site visit, NASAD stated: "The commission voted to continue the current membership status of the institution."
