Abstract:
The first classes in art at the University of Michigan were offered in 1906 by the Department of Architecture. In 1926, a program in decorative arts was housed in the College of Engineering and Architecture. Art evolved as a discipline, moving through the colleges of engineering and architecture to become the School of Art, an autonomous institution, in 1974. It became the School of Art & Design in 1996 and on September 20, 2012 was renamed the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. Materials in this online repository include archived versions of the School's Website.
