Students majoring in art must complete 42 credits of course work in art, 52 credits of liberal arts core requirements and a 15-credit minor concentration. Each of the separate concentrations has groups of required courses in its areas of specialization. Guidance by the students’ individual advisers is essential in guiding them through each specialization.

The required courses in art are designed to provide students interested in the visual arts with a strong foundation program of 24 credits in drawing, design, color and art history. Additionally, in the senior year, a 6-credit senior project and seminar are required for the degree.

The remaining 15 credits (for a total of 42) may be taken in a variety of art electives, as well as required courses for the concentrations in arts management, computer art and design, graphic art and design, and painting and/or drawing.
