The philosophy of the department rests on the premise that its students receive a broad education which combines creativity and scholarly study. Two majors are offered, Studio Arts and Art History. The foremost objective is to prepare the student intellectually and professionally for careers in studio arts and art history.

THE ART & ART HISTORY PROGRAM

For studio classes, one semester hour of credit, or one unit, represents three hours of work each week.  In lecture and seminar courses, one hour of credit represents one hour each week in class and two hours of work outside of class.  Following the customary procedure of most colleges and universities, the Department of Art and Art History reserves the right to retain for a period of three years any work which a student has completed for course credit.
