Overview

Degree Programs

The Department of Art offers programs leading to degrees in art education, art history, studio art, and media arts. The Bachelor of Arts degree with a general major is available in art history and art studio. A special Bachelor of Fine Arts program is offered by the Department of Art. There are two options: studio art and art education. The art option is available with a concentration in one of the following: painting, drawing, printmaking, three-dimensional studies, photography, intermedia, and ceramics. The art education option is designed for those planning a career and seeking certification in teaching. The Department of Art reserves the right to retain one example of artwork from each student in each course.

Honors Sections

The Department of Art participates in the University's Honors College. Each year, one or more sections of art or art history courses are generally offered for honors students.

Scholarships

A limited number of scholarships are available to entering freshmen and continuing students in studio art. Contact the department office for policy guidelines.

Class Attendance

Students are obligated to complete all assigned work promptly, to attend class regularly, and to participate in whatever class discussion may occur. Absence from more than 10 percent of the scheduled class sessions, whether excused or unexcused, is excessive, and the instructor may choose to exact a grade penalty for such absences.

The instructor's attendance policy should be ascertained by the student at the beginning of the semester. It is of particular importance that a student who anticipates absences in excess of 10 percent of the scheduled class sessions receive prior approval from the instructor before the last day to change schedule, as published in the Master Schedule of Classes.

It must be emphasized that the 10-percent rule stated previously applies to both excused and unexcused absences. Faculty members should notify classes specifically of the attendance policy which they intend to follow in each class.
