THE MAJORS IN FINE ARTS

Studio Art
This major prepares students to enter a career directly after graduation or to pursue an advanced degree. Students gain a foundation in a variety of studio areas and art history; they then choose a particular medium such as drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics or jewelry. The studio program culminates in a senior exhibition held in the Crown Center Fine Arts Gallery.

Visual Communication
Students receive training in the elements of visual communication. One semester of internship in local advertising agencies or design studios complements academic study. VisCom students also produce a final body of new work for the senior exhibition, which represents the integration of their academic and professional experiences.

Art History
Students develop a general background in the history of art and also can concentrate in-depth in an area of their choosing. They complete their major by researching and writing a major paper on a topic of their choice. The program prepares students for admission to advanced degree programs.

Certificates
A certificate in graphic design is available and can be completed in day and evening courses.
