The Department of Art fosters an integrated way of life in which the student, through art experiences, grows in awareness and response to both spiritual and material values. The potential artist has opportunity for studio practice in one of the following concentrations: art education, art history, ceramics, drawing, fibers, graphics, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Studies in art history are required of each major and may also be an area of concentration. Students who wish to be licensed as teachers follow a special program for pre K-12 licensure. Students interested in careers as art therapists are advised to follow a pre-art therapy program.
