Department DescriptionThe Department of Art and Art History serves a variety of students, ranging from the non-major to the professionally oriented. The department offers programs leading to the bachelor of arts degree in art, art history and studio art. The master of arts is offered in art history and studio art. The department also participates in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program.In the undergraduate program, art history serves as humanities electives for non-majors, as part of the program for studio majors, and as a major field for students who wish a liberal arts major or who wish to pursue graduate study in this field. Studio art courses are open to nonmajors who meet the appropriate prerequisites. After completing a foundation program, studio students can take work in a number of areas: drawing, painting, printmaking, graphic design, photography and electronic media. The program serves both the general studio major and those students seeking further professional training or employment in art-related fields. There are four degree programs within the undergraduate major offered by the Department of Art and Art History: studio art, art history, general art and a combined art/art history major. In addition, the department works with the School of Education to offer a dual degree in studio art and secondary education. Completion of an undergraduate degree with above-average performance in either art history or studio art is normally a prerequisite for further study on the graduate level.
