Mission
The Division of Art supports the university mission in offering individuals an opportunity to study the visual arts. It aims to provide quality studies in all visual media (photography, graphic design, printmaking, painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and art history), to provide an environment in which students from the region can understand their personal place in the history of art, to provide the skills needed for both employment or continued studies in their area, and to provide a degree in visual arts, with a concentration in studio art, applied arts, or art education.
The university awards the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in art to students who, in addition to satisfying the minimum requirements for graduation from the College of Arts and Sciences, complete the art curriculum outline. Art majors are encouraged to consider a second area of concentration while pursuing their course work at the 300-level or higher. Students planning to continue studies in art history are required to earn 6 to 12 credits in foreign language as determined by their advisor.
Accreditation
The art program is built upon a broad liberal arts foundation and preparation in studio disciplines required for careers in the visual arts and design. The Division of Art is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
Criteria for Completion
- Students must successfully complete ART 499, consisting of a one- or two-person exhibition or an internship.
- They also must have three evaluations with the entire Division of Art faculty: a sophomore evaluation after completion of 30 hours of art courses, a senior evaluation during the semester before enrolling in ART 499 and a final evaluation at the end of ART 499. Evaluations will be held during spring, summer, and fall semesters on a date approved by the art faculty.
- Graduating seniors must reserve calendar dates for their degree exhibition in the gallery the semester prior to graduation. These evaluations will be conducted in accordance with the above schedule and with participation of the art faculty. Art majors must assume responsibility for requesting each of these evaluations in writing to Art Coordinator prior to mid-semester.
- Graduating students must provide color transparencies as evidence of their one person or two-person exhibit for departmental files at their final evaluation.
Minors
A minor in studio requires the completion of 24 hours in art of which at least 6 must be in courses numbered 300 or above. A minor in art history requires 18 hours in this subject and any two studio courses numbered 200 or above.
Transfer Students
It is suggested that transfer students submit portfolios or reproductions of their work to enable the faculty to determine student placement into art courses.
