Specific Information

The Bachelor of Arts degree program with a major in art is designed for students seeking a broad view of traditional two- and three- dimensional studio media, skills, techniques and concepts. You can develop concentrations in a variety of areas including painting, drawing, ceramics, photography, graphic design and digital media.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program is designed for students who‚ after having experienced a range of media, wish to concentrate their efforts in individualized studies pursuing specialized concepts with defined media parameters. In this more sharply focused degree, you can develop a strong portfolio and greater independence. It is an excellent preparation for continued study beyond the bachelor’s degree.

The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Art Therapy is an interdisciplinary major combining art and psychology. This major prepares you for the field of art therapy and fulfills the prerequisite for graduate study. A master’s degree is required for accreditation by the American Art Therapy Association (A.A.T.A.) and professional registration as
an art therapist. Marygrove’s art therapy faculty members are registered art therapists (A.T.R.) through the A.A.T.A.

A minor in art provides you with a complementary body of knowledge and experience in visual issues that are considered essential for many other fields. Examples are careers in communications, fashion, education, business, human ecology, humanities and the other arts. A minor consists of 20 hours of studio classes.

The minor in art history, consisting of 20 hours, provides you with the opportunity to experience the scope of visual arts from a broad historical and cultural perspective, establishing ties to other forms of human expression. This minor compliments other fields including humanities, foreign language, history and the arts.

The minor in fine arts is a 24-hour group minor combining art, art history, music, theatre and dance. It provides you with the opportunity to experience the arts in a larger, collective sense‚ and works well with humanities, modern languages, history or a major in any of the arts.

The Post-degree Certificate Program in Computer Graphics offers a concentrated experience in computer graphics for the post-degree art major. While the emphasis is placed on computer-based graphic design and imaging, you can also elect a more experimental approach to the medium.


Highlights Of The Program

Expansive, well-equipped studios in two buildings, including individual studio spaces for advanced students, create many opportunities to interact with a distinguished faculty of professional artists and practitioners. Two exquisite gallery spaces are programmed with a variety of professional exhibitions in traditional and experimental media including performance. There is plenty of opportunity for students to share their works in exhibition and learn gallery management skills.
