GENERAL INFORMATION
Through a sequential program, students are given opportunities to obtain a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Art, or a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Education. Both of these programs include foundational art classes as well as an exciting choice of studio classes. The Art Education program prepares the student for an art career in public education, while the Art program prepares the art student for a career in illustration or design professions. Both areas cover theory as well as practice. Art majors may seek a B.F.A. with an emphasis in one of two areas: Illustration or Graphic Design, which offers comprehensive training in the use of design-related software, preparing students for careers in the graphic design and illustration industry. Students majoring in Art Education will be trained in methods and materials and will also have opportunities for classroom observation and internship. Communication Arts offers numerous opportunities for students to practice their skills as speakers, actors, directors, designers, editors, writers, broadcasters, and reporters.
