Academic Programs

Prospective Art & Design majors are offered a range of courses that differ by area of specialization:

• Art Education
• Art History
• Graphic Design
• Studio Art

Regardless of which track is eventually selected, each student is encouraged to gain a broad understanding of the history of their field, to acquire the vocabulary and facility for speaking and writing of their understanding and appreciation of art, and to develop the skills necessary to create artistic statements of their own.

Art & Design Minor

A minor in Art & Design will be awarded for the completion of any six courses (18 semester hours) selected from the regular offerings of the department.

Students should consult with a department advisor when planning their minor.

Education Majors planning to minor in Art & Design should take at least two Art History/Appreciation courses and four courses which are Studio/Design experiential courses.
