The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art provides students with both the technical ability for expression as well as an understanding of the history of art. Art students relate to historical and contemporary cultures outside of themselves and thereby obtain a deeper understanding of their own communities. In making art, defending their work and studying the creative process, art students develop critical and creative thinking and develop a theoretical and practical understanding of aesthetic judgments through Art History and studio practice.
Students may earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in one of the following:
The major consists of four required components:
- Core curriculum
- Area of concentration
- Language proficiency
- International experience
(See degree requirements for specific details)
The Department of Art has designed its curriculum to prepare students for graduate study, teaching, museum and gallery work, and professions in the areas of art and design. Studio experiences are balanced with courses in Art History and the liberal arts to strengthen the humanistic base of the program. Our aim is to develop intellectual and performance abilities and give students practical work experience through internships, thus, assuring a sound foundation for the future artistic and scholastic development of students, and provide career opportunities for entry into a professional field.
The many local arts organizations — museums, galleries, interior design firms, advertising and graphic arts agencies — provide a variety of exciting internship opportunities. Apprenticeships with local artists are also available to qualified students.
