Art, BA Major in


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors and Minors

The BA major in Art is a 124 s.h program. The department fosters independent and creative thought, emphasizing art-making as a means of thinking about not only oneself, but our relationship to the world of ideas from multiple perspectives. Our Art major emphasizes technical skill and critical thinking, interdisciplinary work, collaboration and community. We encourage the fluidity of learning and see art and design as a bridge to all areas of study and research. Students who plan to major in Art are recommended to seek an advisor within the department to decide whether an emphasis should be on a studio art track, a design track or a customized track, to ensure pedagogical progression.
