The mission of the Art Department is to teach students the essential knowledge and techniques to create art, to think, speak, and write critically about art, and to communicate human values through art. We provide students with a strong foundation in the study and making of art, active and accessible faculty, and the flexibility to develop diverse interests and talents. The degree programs in art are designed to meet a variety of student
needs. The B.A. in Studio Art is considered a basic liberal arts degree,
easily combined with other degree programs in the college for purposes
of obtaining a double major. The B.F.A. is a professional degree program
for students interested in a career in art and advancement into graduate
programs in art. The B.F.A.-Ed. is similar to the B.F.A. and includes
K-12 teacher certification. The B.A. in Art History is structured for
the non-studio artist interested in museum studies and/or advanced degree
work in Art History. Both the B.A. and the B.F.A. degrees include elective
art courses which allow a student to concentrate in a particular media
area or explore a range of artistic expression. See Degree Requirements
and Course Offerings.
