| |
| The goals of the Department
of Art and Art History include preparing students
for graduate work or careers in the visual arts;
providing suitable programs and courses for
persons who want to study or practice the visual
arts for their own personal development and
cultural enrichment; and introducing students
to their cultural tradition as part of a liberal
arts education. |
| The Department of Art
and Art History offers three major programs
of study: |
| |
|
I. |
Bachelor
of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art with concentrations
in Ceramics, |
|
|
Graphic
Design, Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture; |
|
|
|
|
II. |
Major in
Art in the Bachelor of Arts curriculum; and |
|
|
|
|
III. |
Major in
Art History in the Bachelor of Arts curriculum. |
| |
|
|
| The Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree program is intended for students who
plan to pursue studio art careers or graduate
studies. |
| The Major in Art in the
Bachelor of Arts curriculum is a liberal arts
program for students whose main interest is
studying the visual arts in a broader education
context. Those who decide to do graduate work
in the visual arts may be required to take additional
undergraduate courses. |
| Art History is the study
of art in relation to the time in which it was
produced. The major in Art History is designed
for students who plan to study art history at
the graduate level or who simply enjoy the subject
for its own sake. Most careers in art history
require graduate degrees. |
| The department offers
minors in Art and in Art History. No course
may be counted toward both a major in Art and
a minor in Art History, or vice versa. |
| Persons interested in
teaching art at the elementary or secondary
levels are directed to the art-teaching specialization
offered by the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction, nursery-through-grade-twelve (N-12)
option, of the College of Education. |
| |
