The Department of Art, Media, and Design offers a general curriculum which identifies and promotes continuing contact with the enduring values of our artistic heritage and the application of these values to the future. The educational aim of the department is to provide, through individualized instruction, a broad foundation in art practice and art history. The curriculum emphasizes fundamental artistic concepts through problem solving and experimentation in studio courses and through research and analysis in art history. Three areas of concentration are offered: 1) a concentration in art + design to develop concepts, design principles and production skills for print and multi media, 2) a fine arts concentration designed to develop artistic skills and abilities in painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking, and 3) a media arts concentration designed to develop artistic skills in photography, video and digital media. In addition, the department offers a minor in all fine arts disciplines, design, and media arts for students majoring in other fields. Through individualized counseling and a choice of electives, students are aided in planning for graduate school or a diverse group of art-related careers.
