The Department of Art educates
artists, designers, and teachers. After completing the foundation
year, which includes fundamental design, drawing, and a survey of
art history, students participate in a specialty that includes one of the following: art education, ceramics, drawing,
electronic art and animation, metals, painting, photography,
printmaking, sculpture, or visual communication.
Approval to pursue a major in art involves a selection process in
addition to admission to the university. The Department of Art Admissions Committee
carefully screens all applicants and decides which
students to admit into art major status based on a review of
academic records and a portfolio of original work.
Transfer students from other universities are required to submit
portfolios to the Department of Art as well as transcripts for
evaluation and admittance. Transfer students should be aware that
the visual communication program involves a three-year sequence
beyond the foundation year, and it is unusual for students to be
admitted at any point other than at the beginning of the sequence.
Students specializing in any art program must enroll in the
foundation core (ADS 101, 102; AFA 101, 202). All art majors must
receive grades of C or higher in all foundation core courses before
enrolling in advanced level courses. Students must repeat foundation
courses in which they receive grades of C- or below.
Students wanting to major in visual communication must undergo an
additional review after successful completion of the foundation
core. Specific information on portfolio requirements and applicant
guidelines for this review are available from design faculty members
or the Department of Art and are revised periodically.
Students wanting a teaching degree in Visual Arts Education are
encouraged to meet with a faculty advisor to assist in understanding
teacher education, grade-point average and program requirements
unique to this area.
All students in the department undergo periodic reviews of their
portfolios throughout their undergraduate education. The department
reserves the right to retain examples of student work for exhibition
and accreditation.
All students taking courses in art should note that summer school
course offerings are not extensive and are subject to last minute
changes or cancellations. Students are strongly advised to pursue
required course sequences in a timely fashion during the regular academic
year.
The bachelor of fine arts program in the studio areas requires a senior thesis
and/or an exit portfolio evaluation.
Studio courses are open only to art majors, pre-art majors and art
minors except by permission of the chairperson of the department.
All students in the university may enroll in the art history courses
based on the completion of the prerequisites.
Students who have not been granted art major status as an incoming
freshman may enter the Department of Art pre-art program. This
program allows registration in the foundation core and survey of art
history courses. Pre-art majors are encouraged to meet with the
primary department advisor and seek art major status at the next
scheduled review period.
For more information, contact the Department of Art,
765-285-5838.
The Department of Art is accredited by the National Association of
Schools of Art and Design.
