Total hours = 74 for B.A. degree; 82 for B.S. degree Major: Studio Art The studio art major is designed for the student who wishes broad experience in studio art and a comprehensive liberal education. This program, leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree, requires a minimum of 48 hours in studio and art history courses. Within the studio art program, students may choose one or more of seven optional concentrations (listed below) or remain an overall major, likely focused on Painting, Drawing or Sculpture, or perhaps Social Practice or Performance Art, with an eye toward exhibiting their work in a gallery or other setting, or working by commissions, and/or in community outreach programs. To aid in a successful transition to graduate study, both concentrations and the general studio art major also have a strong emphasis on art historical and critical approaches to understanding and creating art, as befits enrollment in a liberal arts college. Reading and writing about art not only supplement generating better art, but foster stronger ties to cultural diversity, heritage, and communal human compassion. Most studio courses include fees charged for art materials: some camera and darkroom costs, paper and printing costs, or for models hired, as examples. Otherwise, students are expected to purchase their own materials. This also applies to non-majors taking ART-prefix courses.
