The art major offers students a variety of concentrations, including painting, sculpture, photography, graphic design, and computer animation. Students also may design their own interdisciplinary majors to prepare for careers in art therapy, medical illustration, advertising, and other fields.
Students majoring in the arts are exposed to a variety of conceptual, technical, and formal issues and work in a variety of media. Regardless of concentration, all art
students share a common core, while specifying an area of specialization. The program focuses on developing students' conceptual and technical skills. Art students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of opportunities for internships and assistantships both within and outside the department. After rigorous training, ALL degree candidates are required to participate in a senior thesis exhibition. Students planning on graduate study should strongly consider taking part in the departmental honors program in art during their senior year.
