Students have the option of planning their own program that combines courses from two different major programs. Approval of such a program by the departments concerned and the courses of study committee is mandatory. This option has been used by students to prepare for a variety of careers, such as art therapy, medical illustration, theater design, and arts administration, and in preparation for continued education, including law school. The following are some possible student-designed major programs and their corresponding goal orientations:
Biology/Art: medical illustrator
Business/Art: art consultant, corporate art director, freelance graphic
designer, arts grant specialist, advertising, marketing
Computer Science/Art: video artist, computer graphics designer, chart display artist
English/Art: book illustrator, advertising, marketing, photojournalist
Psychology/Art: art therapist
Theater Arts/Art: set and costume design (credits of which must be at the 300 level or higher)
