Mission<\/h4>\n

The Department of Art supports the University mission in offering individuals an opportunity to study the visual arts. It aims to provide quality studies in all visual media (photography, graphic design, printmaking, painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and art history), to provide an environment in which students from the region can understand their personal place in the history of art, to provide the skills needed for both employment or continued studies in their area, and to provide a degree in visual arts, with concentrations in graphic art, studio art, art history, and art education (K-12).<\/p>\n

The University awards the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Art to students who, in addition to satisfying the minimum requirements for graduation from the College of Liberal Arts, complete the art curriculum outline. Art majors are encouraged to consider a second area of\u00a0emphasis while pursuing their course work at the 300-level or higher. Art majors and minors must earn a C or better in all ART courses.<\/p>\n

The Department of Art also offers concentrations in Art Education (K-12); Art History, Digital Animation and Motion, Digital Art, Graphic Design: Print and Web, and Studio Art (drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture or photography).<\/p>\n

Accreditation<\/h4>\n

The Art program is built upon a broad liberal arts foundation and preparation in studio disciplines required for careers in the visual arts and design. The Art program \u00a0is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.<\/p>\n
