Studio Art Concentration

The studio art concentration is a program designed for students who are seeking a comprehensive study of visual art for their undergraduate education. This program is distinctive in its depth of required coursework across a range of contemporary art practices, from two-dimensional media in painting and drawing, to three- and four-dimensional media in sculpture and time-based art. The upper division curriculum allows students to specialize in a discipline pertinent to their career choice in the visual arts. Courses in portfolio preparation, professional practices, and a senior project prepare the student to enter the workplace or pursue advanced degrees.

The studio art concentration is a small and rigorous program where students are able to work closely with their art professors and peers, while having access to the resources of a larger, nationally-ranked university. Students in the studio art concentration are presented with an environment where imagination, intellectual rigor, self-expression, cultural competency and skill development are expected and explored within a community dedicated to their success. The Art and Design Department values an understanding of a broad range of worldviews, perspectives and backgrounds, and is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive atmosphere.
