A major in art may lead to careers:

• in the fine arts, gallery sales, or museum technology
• in visual communication, including graphic design, photography, and digital media
• and in the field of art education

This degree program is for digital media artists who plan to attend graduate school or who want a much larger concentration in an area of their choice. The program requires a special portfolio review for admission and culminates in a senior seminar and exhibition.

Valpo鈥檚 digital media courses focus on visual communication and creative thinking and help students learn to apply those skills across a variety of computer-assisted media. The program also exposes students to professional-level software used for graphic design, photography, animation, video editing, and related fields.

The degree program culminates in the senior thesis, an intense, project-driven learning experience. Students design and present their project proposals in the fall and execute the projects throughout the spring semester with supervision from the art faculty. The final works are exhibited at the end of the semester.

The degree prepares students for work in graphic design and other visual communications fields and can also qualify them for further study at the graduate level. Students are encouraged to complete internships in the arts, but this is not a degree requirement.
