The B.A. degree in Art is designed
to develop visual literacy and aesthetic awareness.
Along with art appreciation and art history skills that
focus on visual and cultural aspects,
the studio courses
introduce the student to a variety of traditional and
contemporary art media and content.
The
program provides flexibility with advanced course selections
for concentration within preferred studio disciplines.
International education offers opportunities for
enrichment studies abroad.
Internships and visiting artist exhibits afford
opportunities for the Art major to relate vocational and
academic interests.
At the time of admission
to the art specialization program, the student should present
a broad sampling of art accomplishment. After completing
15.0 sh in art, a portfolio from those credits will be
presented to the department for evaluation and guidance.
Review of this work should provide adequate evidence of growth
in the field and advancement over the admission samples.
The senior exhibit should demonstrate even greater
competencies with special refinements.
Students
are required to submit and pass portfolio review prior to
their senior year and be juried into a senior exhibition
before graduation.
