About the Program
The B.S. degree program in Art prepares students to work professionally in art-related fields by providing emphasis areas in:
- Ceramics
- Graphic Design
- Jewelry
- Painting
- Photography
- Printmaking
- Sculpture
- Art Education
- Interior Design
Each discipline encourages students to approach and resolve aesthetic, intellectual, and technical problems through informed:
- practice,
- experimentation,
- and historical awareness.
We believe that students must have exposure to a broad range of studio experiences to develop first-hand knowledge of the creative process. The in-depth understanding that students acquire in the department, through authentic research compiled with historical study and critical analysis, develops the visual literacy necessary for successful artists, designers, and art teachers. In addition to the degree program, the department supports the cultural climate of the campus with a continuous program of exhibits and lectures in the Hiram van Gordon Gallery.
