Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU Art Department)

Fundamental Objective

The fundamental objective of the Art Department programs is to teach in ways that will provide and promote knowledge and understanding of the visual arts. The studio program gives students hands on exposure to a variety of skills, both analytic and technical, in order to help students express concepts visually. The art history program introduces students to different periods of art, cultural and historical events, visual means of expression and communication, and research methods. Both programs prepare students to pursue graduate school, careers in the arts, or teaching.

The Department offers two sequences leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Additional offerings include minors for Elementary Education majors, Liberal Arts students, advanced courses for undergraduate students, in-service teachers and post-graduate students. Both the major and minor Liberal Arts programs allow students to select areas of emphasis in studio or art history in consultation with departmental advisors. Students wishing to be certified for teaching art in secondary schools must select the emphasis in studio art.

The special requirements of studio courses demand regular attendance. More than three absences may result in a failing grade. Students wishing to declare an Art major or minor should contact the Art Department at extension 4910 and schedule an appointment with an Art advisor. Transfer students should bring an evaluation of transfer credits to their first advisement session.

Transfer students are required to consult the departmental undergraduate advisor regarding an interview and/or portfolio review prior to registering for art courses at Northeastern.

The Art department utilizes course titles and course descriptions taken from the catalog of the transfer school to assist us in making a decision on the appropriateness of transfer credit.

General education credit is allowed when courses provide a survey of introductory material with breadth and appropriate concepts consistent with NEIU Art General Education courses.

The department of Art offers advanced courses for undergraduate students, in-service teachers and post-graduate students. Prerequisites are strictly enforced.
