The responsibility of the Art Department is to prepare well-trained people for the
various fields of professional art, art education and art history. A wide range of
studio and academic classroom experience is available to the student who wishes
to develop a career in personal studio art, in public and private school teaching
and studies in the history of art. On completion of a specialized Art curriculum a
graduate receives one of three degrees: the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), the
Bachelor of Science in Art Education or the Bachelor of Arts in Art History (BA).
Students planning to earn Art Education certification and meet BFA degree
requirements should see the Art Department chairperson. Students in the BFA
program may concentrate in graphic design (commercial art), cinema (film/video
and animation), photography, ceramics, drawing, jewelry/metalsmithing, paint-
ing, printmaking, sculpture, weaving/fibers and wood furniture. BFA students
may elect to have an internship in their career area.
A wide variety of curricular offerings is available in each degree area and empha-
sis is placed on the development of knowledge and skill to meet the demands of
personal and professional endeavors. Advanced work is available to strengthen
content knowledge in specialized areas.
The Department offers numerous minors which may be taken in conjunction with
an art major.
