Total Quality Management (TQM) is an approach that considers customers as the centric point and employee empowerment to emphasize continuous improvement in achieving organizational overall quality/excellence. TQM principles and approaches in higher education are applicable to enhance teaching-learning, research, and other administrative services. In this paper, emphasis is given to the TQM theoretical framework, practices, key principles, and application of other aspects. The paper also explores challenges, benefits, and recommendations for implementation in the higher education sector. In addition, with the fast growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the higher education sector's approach to teaching-learning is rapidly changing, including art and design fields. This paper focused on integrating varied AI tools/applications in art and design curricula by indicating their benefits and further stating challenges. The paper researches pedagogical strategies, the use of AI applications, and ethical considerations that guide art and design fields for higher educators in the ethical and efficient use of AI for enhanced teaching-learning experiences.
