Art, BA/BS

Students working toward a BA or BS in Art can expect a studio-intensive program that emphasizes mentorship and collaboration with faculty and students while enhancing technical ability through media-specific training. The Art curriculum is designed to give students the skills they need for life as creative professionals. Class discussions challenge and expand each student’s understanding of the creative process, and provide contemporary and historical context for art practice.

Students have opportunities to exhibit work in multiple gallery spaces on campus, either individually or as part of a group show. Additionally, local exhibiting opportunities abound, with many local businesses and restaurants showing student work. Students working toward a BA or a BS often choose to minor in another area, rounding their skill sets and further preparing them to lead in a diverse and changing professional world.
