The Department of Art and Art History is comprised of three disciplines in the visual arts: art education, art history, and studio art. Approximately 550 majors and minors are enrolled in courses at any one time, and art majors may specialize in ceramics, graphic design, illustration, painting/drawing, photography/digital imaging, printmaking, sculpture, and intermedia. The faculty-student ratio is low to allow for individual attention, and faculty mentoring is a strong part of the Departments mission.
Many students are supported by a variety of scholarships, tuition waivers, travel awards, work-study programs, and other financial aid packages. Additional awards are made for the Student Exhibition and the Intercollegiate Exhibition annually. Faculty also serve as advisors for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program fellowships when students work with faculty on special research or creative projects.
The department sponsors an active Visiting Artist/Art Historian Lecture series endowed by Carmen Morton Christensen, Foundation as well as annual events such as High School Art Day, Student Exhibitions, the Art History Symposium, and the BFA Student Exhibition.
