Fine Arts

About the Program

If you're a creative thinker with a passion for visual expression, our fine arts program is designed to help you thrive. We prepare students to become professional artists, designers or pursue advanced study in graduate school.

Students begin with a broad, enriching education in studio drawing, painting, art history, visual aesthetics, design and color theory. From there, you customize your artistic journey with courses such as printmaking, ceramics, photography, digital design and art history courses, gaining both depth and flexibility in your studies.

Art majors who have completed 15 credit hours of art coursework (including current classes) are required to participate in the Sophomore Portfolio Review. This milestone helps evaluate each student’s artistic progress and readiness for upper-level coursework. To qualify for the review, students must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA within the major. Passing the review is necessary to enroll in junior- and senior-level design courses.

ART 2900 is a course which helps students through the portfolio review process. Students present samples of their foundational sketching and drawing skills, as well as work from their freshman art and design courses, along with additional pieces that highlight their artistic abilities.
