The School of Art offers four-year professional degree concentrations in the disciplines of Animation, Ceramics, Drawing, Glass, metals, photography and inter media art, printmaking, sculpture, visual communication (graphic design) and a teaching major in visual arts. Students may also pursue a major in art with an emphasis in art history or studio art. In addition, a minor in art history is available. All concentration areas in the School of Art have fully dedicated studios and labs. Visiting artists, designers and scholars, as well as a full schedule of professional and student exhibitions in our Atrium Gallery augment the curriculum. Art majors have opportunities for internships, practicums, immersive learning, field trips, and study abroad. Approval to pursue a major in art involves a selection process in addition to admission to the university. The School of Art Admission and Scholarship Committee carefully screens all applicants and decides which students to admit into art major status based on a review of academic records and a portfolio of original work. First-time freshmen submit both the university application and art program application, along with a portfolio of work, to be admitted as an art major. All students admitted to the School of Art complete a common first-year program of study comprised of required courses in drawing, design, computer art, and art history. Students specializing in any art program must receive grades of C or higher in all first-year foundation core courses (ADS 101, 102; AFA 101, 202) before enrolling in advanced level courses. Students must repeat courses in which they receive grades of C- or below. Students that meet the grade requirement then select an area of concentration for the second through fourth years of study. Concentrations involve a three-year sequence of courses beyond the first-year foundation core.
