The Art Department offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education (K-12), Art History, Graphic Design-Animation, Graphic Design-Print, Studio Art, and Visual Arts Administration.
We are committed to offering instruction that provides opportunities for students to acquire skills and achieve an understanding of the fundamentals of art production. A new state of the art facility was completed in 2002. Small class sizes offer students individualized faculty attention. Art Department faculty also provide individualized attention to students in the form of advising and planning course work leading to graduation.
While there is no formal portfolio review required for admission, at the end of the sophomore year, Graphic Design and Studio majors complete a formal portfolio review and written examination. Students must pass both in order to continue into upper division courses.
Art department scholarships are competitive and limited to entering freshmen art majors and continuing art majors. Students must show artistic potential, personal commitment, seriousness of purpose, and a positive/cooperative attitude. Applications are due the first of March each year; forms are available online.
