The Art Department has four comprehensive undergraduate degree programs and an minor in art. The Department, in conjunction with the Department of Middle, Secondary, Reading, and Deaf Education, also offers the Master of Education degree with a major in secondary or middle grades education – teaching field ART. The undergraduate programs include the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) with a major in studio art, the Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in interior design, the Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in art education, and the Bachelor of Arts with a major in art. The BFA degrees with majors in art, interior design, and art education are professional degrees that prepare students for a variety of occupations or further educational experiences. The program of the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree with a major in art allows the student the flexibility of designing a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum that may lead to graduate school or develop into entrepreneurial careers in the visual arts.
Each program of study has a sequentially based curriculum beginning the first semester of the freshman year, which includes foundation courses leading to advanced courses. Students who delay entering the major until completion of the Core Curriculum may prolong their academic careers. Students in each program have the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in one or more disciplines taught in the department. Some upper division courses may be repeated for advanced content to allow further development within the discipline. The total number of hours for each course may not exceed 9 hours of credit. Studio courses are scheduled as double period classes, and the purchase of art materials is required. All majors must earn a grade of “C” or better in all foundations (Area F), professional, and major classes. Thirty-nine semester hours must be earned at the 3000-level or above in each degree program. All students, including transfer students, must take ART 1030 3-D Design or pass a safety exam before taking studio courses in the major. The minor in art is designed for students with an interest in art or art history who do not wish to pursue a degree program in one of these areas of inquiry.
