Art
As an Art major, students learn art practice and theory through hands-on studio courses while studying contemporary and historical artists, designers, and works. Studio courses include drawing, painting, photography, design, video arts, and much more. Art majors are guided through the process of developing a cohesive body of work that is presented to and critiqued by peers and faculty.
