What You’ll Learn
Find your artistic voice, and learn creative thinking and problem solving skills that can transfer to any career path. We offer concentrations in six areas: Ceramics, Drawing, Graphic Design, Painting, Photography, and Sculpture.
You’ll learn from a dynamic faculty of practicing artists who will teach you the processes, skills, and techniques you need to express yourself as a visual artist and communicator. Students also have the benefit of experiencing art firsthand in our two art galleries— the Tower Fine Arts Gallery, which hosts national and regional exhibitions, and the student-run West Side gallery.

Curriculum
Students pursuing the BA/BS will be immersed in a hands-on, collaborative, and integrated curriculum in art and design, and art history.
Our concentrations allow you the freedom to explore and combine other art mediums, and the flexibility to double major in any degree at the college to complement your art studies.
This 42-credit degree program allows students the flexibility to pursue other academic interests and expand career opportunities through double majors and/or minors.

Admission Requirements
We recommend submitting first-year applications in October or early November. The University decides your admission once you complete your application.
As intents to major, students are expected to work on completing the program foundations requirements and some other major core requirements. Students must not earn a grade lower than a “C” in core courses. Ideally, students should declare their major by the end of their sophomore year.
If you are interested in the BFA program, a separate application is required with a portfolio review.

Career Outlook
Your art degree will prepare you for a career in arts-related fields, and will also give you skills to succeed in careers outside of the arts. Many of our alumni go on to success as practicing professional artists, teachers, commercial designers, art therapists, curators, and arts administrators. The creative and critical thinking skills developed in the program are also greatly sought after in non-arts related fields.
