COURSE CURRICULUM

The Art (B.A.) program offers concentrations that allow students to focus their studies on specific areas of interest while gaining deeper knowledge and practical experience. These concentrations help students refine their skills, explore career paths, and take advantage of opportunities such as mentorships, internships, and interdisciplinary learning. By choosing a concentration, students can tailor their education to align with their creative and professional goals.The Art History concentration focuses on developing critical thinking and analytical skills through the study of visual arts from a global perspective. Students learn to understand and interpret art within social, historical, and aesthetic contexts, while also building strong visual literacy skills. This concentration often encourages students to explore a second field of study and learn a language, enriching their research and broadening their academic perspective.The Integrated Visual Studies concentration emphasizes both creative practice and interdisciplinary learning. Students gain a deeper understanding of visual arts while refining their studio techniques and engaging in artistic research. This pathway allows them to combine art coursework with another discipline, helping them connect their creative work to broader professional fields. By working across disciplines and reflecting on their role within the visual arts and larger communities, students are well prepared for careers or further study in the arts.
