It’s why each of our programs emphasizes studio-based research, critical evaluation, and excellent oral and written communication skills. Best of all, you’ll enjoy close mentorship with professors who are leaders in their fields. Confirm your enrollment today to officially begin your path to a University of Dayton degree.
