Requirements

The Studio Art major requires a minimum of thirty hours, at least twenty-four hours in studio art and six hours in art history. Studio courses at the 200 level may be repeated once. Studio art majors who are serious about pursuing a career in art are encouraged to take as many art courses as possible in consultation with their advisor.

A minor in studio art requires twelve hours in studio art and three hours in art history.

Including

At least one course is required in each of the following four cores:

• One course in Intro to Studio Art Fundamentals or Drawing

• One course in Painting or Printmaking

• One course in Photography or Digital Art

• One course in Sculpture

• A three course concentration in a chosen studio art area: digital, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture

• A two course sequence in a studio art area other than concentration

• The remainder of the courses for the major may be fulfilled by courses in any studio area

Students with a special interest in multimedia development may wish to consider a program of study that combines digital art and computer science. Advisors in either the art or computer science departments can provide further information on coordinating an art major with a computer science minor, or vice versa.
