The curriculum prepares students for graduate training in art and for careers as professional artists. Art majors are required to take at least two of the six introductory courses before taking classes above level 2.
All classes meet twice a week.
A B.F.A. or B.A. art student wishing to pursue honors in art should submit a written proposal to the chair of the department before the end of the first semester of his or her senior year. This proposal should include a request for a faculty sponsor who will work with the applicant in an advisory capacity. Portfolio presentations must be scheduled by the student to take place during the second semester of the senior year. The deadline for the presentation will be no later than the third week in March for those graduating at the end of the spring semester. In order to receive honors, the applicant must have a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher.
