A major or minor in Fine Arts gives students a strong introduction to the history of art from ancient to modern times as well as foundational coursework in both drawing and design.

The program also offers a choice of two 200-level studio courses, allowing a student to gain familiarity with two different artistic mediums or to focus in both courses on developing greater fluency in one medium.

Students in the Fine Arts program will have the opportunities to:

Be able to proficiently express themselves in a variety of artistic media.
Possess a knowledge base that enables them to speak and write coherently of the Western Art Historical traditions and relate it to their own artwork and cultural context.
Show a mastery of mimetic techniques in various media including drawing, painting, and sculpting.
