The UW-Whitewater Art Department provides students with the opportunity to develop skills in the visual arts in preparation for a variety of careers in art.
All students move through a general studies program.
In Art, the general studies are linked to coursework in Art Foundations. Each track is intended to develop skills and expertise that ready a student for a career in art. The bachelor of arts requires an accredited minor, which students can choose from an array of programs offered by departments. Selecting a minor enhances career opportunities and student interests. Other minors that students enter include art history, arts management, marketing, advertising and public relations.
