These are not, necessarily, the biggest, best, or most popular programs at the college, but they are the ones that just “caught my eye” as unique, special, interesting, or just plain awesome.

From the St. Ambrose University website, 2023: “If you are an artist with a passion for working with diverse materials, the Art major with a Book Arts concentration gives you a unique opportunity to excel at what you love and gain skills that are highly-desired within the field of graphic arts.
“Book Arts encompasses printmaking, papermaking, book binding, screen printing, typography, digital illustration and creative writing.
“St. Ambrose has outstanding student art facilities in the Galvin Fine Arts Center. You can explore traditional and non-traditional print techniques in our arts/printmaking studio, which holds a letterpress, lithography, equipment for screen printing, relief, and non-toxic photo processes. Our papermaking studio has a Hollander beater, paper press, and more than a dozen molds and deckles.”
