The Studio Art program requires a minimum of 128 semester hours. Students take courses in Foundations, Art History and Studio that include topics ranging from historical through contemporary issues in art, technical demonstrations, and rigorous critiques of student work.
Art + Design Foundations Program
Concentrations: The Studio Art program is composed of the following areas of concentration: Ceramics, Digital Art + Technology, Painting + Drawing, Photography + Integrated Media, Printmaking, and Sculpture + Expanded Practice. Students select one of these concentrations to focus on in their last two years of study; however, they are not limited to working in any one specific medium.
Advising: Each student is assigned an advisor within their selected area of concentration and has regular contact with all faculty in that area. Students easily develop community among their peers through regular use of the studio facilities and extra-curricular activities.
Studio Art Practicum/Thesis: All students must complete a practicum and courses and exhibit their work at the senior thesis show.
