Program offered is a Bachelor.

The Department of Art seeks to allow students to explore art, visual creativity, and their history within the liberal arts tradition. Its goals are to provide students with a fundamental understanding of art in a cultural context, to introduce them to the rudiments of visual language, to develop and strengthen their technical skills, and to acquaint them with the challenges facing artists in contemporary society. It is designed to prepare students to meet the entrance requirements of graduate schools and prepare for a life in art. The major is organized along two sequences: the studio arts and art history. Art history classes include both general historical surveys and in-depth analyses of particular periods. Studio art classes explore the central problems of direct observation of nature and are designed to develop a personal vocabulary, creative problem-solving, and a sensitivity to the visual world. Studio majors may move among or concentrate on any of the following: painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, or photography.
