"The art department has over 800 students and now has over 20 full-time faculty members. The only thing missing was the Art Education degree. All the other institutions in the state offer art education. We are probably the largest department in the state, but we weren't offering art education," Bule said. The Bachelor of Science in Art Education will help complete an important part of the School of Arts. The School consists of four departments: Visual Arts, Music, Theatre and Dance. All but visual arts have already been offering degrees in education.

Some suggested ways to keep safe while on campus are; be aware of the surrounding environment, meaning don't get to caught up in using a cell phone, avoid becoming complacent, and walk in pairs if possible. In the event that there has been a crime committed, whether a victim or witness, the police are there to assist.
