Each area of emphasis is supported by superb facilities, many of which are housed in the Insalaco Center for Studio Arts; as you advance through the program, you'll have access to increasingly sophisticated equipment. The sculpture area consists of mold-making facilities for casting metal, resins, plaster, and glass. Fabrication equipment allows students to cut, forge. weld and cold finish metal. The hot shop is outfitted with kilns for glass cutting. slumping, and fusing in addition to the foundry for bronze and aluminum. The jewelry studio provides opportunities for students to work with "light" metals.
The wood studio is designed and equipped for all aspects of wood work as applied to furniture making and sculpture, including carving, lamination, turning and finishing.
Computer resources include AutoCAD software, web design, layout applications, and technology for graphic design, photography, illustration, and interior architecture majors. There are also weaving looms and blueprint machines; a photography studio with black and white and color darkrooms and an advanced lighting studio; a ceramic studio equipped for a wide variety of techniques; a foundry with metalworking facilities;and sculpture and painting AutoCAD software.
The curricular goal is the development of persons with knowledge, technical skills, conceptual abilities and artistic sensitivity within a supportive environment to prepare them for the demanding and competitive design fields.

I had several job offers immediately after graduating from Marywood.
I graduated in 2014 with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design with a minor in Multimedia. I am currently a Visual Web Designer Consultant for Verizon Wireless. I had several job offers immediately after graduating and chose the Verizon Wireless position because I am a big fan of the company and knew it would be an amazing experience.
I have worked on numerous innovative projects and have been responsible for many of the visual elements on the Verizon Wireless website, which is visited by millions of customers. My assignments have included home page marquees, landing pages, page redesigns, and even being assigned the responsibility of Lead Designer for the Valentine's Day 2015 creative and device launches. I absolutely love my job and am so thankful for this opportunity. Every day is a new challenge and I welcome it.
Looking back, I believe that Marywood's school size contributed a great deal to my achievements. I do not think I would have been able to do as much as I did at a larger school. At Marywood, the classes were small and professors were always available to answer questions.
