Studio Art majors may choose the Graphics/Illustration specialization (see: Art Studio Major - Graphics/Illustration Extension), or a concentration in Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture, Ceramics, or Metalsmithing. After taking a variety of introductory, intermediate and advanced courses in a particular area, students are expected to attain a thorough knowledge of the chosen medium and its aesthetic possibilities. Through individual and group critiques and mentorship from faculty members, students are guided through the process of becoming professional artists in terms of style, content and aesthetic vision.
The full-time faculty, composed of studio artists, art historians and art educators, is supplemented by a number of practicing professionals, highly respected in their areas. We have strong working relationships with many local museums, schools, and graphics firms, providing our students with an active internship program.
