University of Arkansas - Little Rock (Art Department)

The Department of Art, which is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, offers undergraduate instruction leading to baccalaureate degrees in art history and studio art, and undergraduate instruction in art education. The art history program emphasizes all eras of western European art. The studio program offers specializations in drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, ceramics, printmaking, and sculpture. Courses in crafts and museum studies are also offered. The department also makes available numerous courses in art education, art history, and studio art for students not majoring in art who are interested in art electives.


Undergraduate Programs

The Department of Art offers a bachelor of arts degree in studio art or art history. In addition to the core curriculum requirements of 44 hours, the bachelor of arts degree requires completion of a 60-hour program for studio art and 39-hour program for art history. Art majors must complete the 21-hour foundations program before enrolling for classes above the 2000 level. Students choose an emphasis area such as graphic design, painting, ceramics, etc. and specialize in this area in the 3000 and 4000 level courses.


Bachelor of Arts in Art History

The bachelor of arts in art history is for students especially interested in the history, theory, and criticism of the visual arts. The major will provide a solid foundation for students who wish to pursue the master or Ph.D. programs in art history that are necessary for careers in university teaching, research, and the museum field. For those pursuing other interests, the major in art history, which is decidedly a liberal arts field, encourages development of analytical and critical viewing and writing skills useful in such careers as law, medicine, and business.

Students should plan carefully and check the long‐range schedule of course offerings with the art history coordinator if interested in a particular course. ARHA 2310 Survey of the History of Art I and 2311 Survey of the History of Art II are offered fall and spring. ARHA 2312, Survey of Non-Western Art, is usually offered in the fall. Upper‐level courses are normally offered once every two years.


Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art

The Department of Art offers the Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with specializations in drawing, painting, graphic design, illustration, photography, ceramics, printmaking and sculpture.
