The Department of Art offers four-year professional degree options in the disciplines of ceramics, drawing, electronic art (animation and video/intermedia), glass, metals/jewelry design, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, visual communications (graphic design), art history, and a teaching major in visual arts (K-12 art education). In addition, a minor in art history is also available.

Students specializing in any art program must receive grades of C or higher in all foundation core courses (ADS 101, 102; AFA 101, 202) before enrolling in advanced level courses in the specific media areas. Students must repeat courses in which they receive grades of C- or lower.

Students who meet the grade requirement then select an area of specialization for the second through fourth years of study. Specializations involve a three-year sequence of courses beyond the first year foundation core.
