About the Program

Art + Design majors may choose from several concentrations and areas of study, depending on their interests and career plans. Current areas of study include:


All students complete first-level foundation courses in design, drawing and art history. A second level of foundation courses is required for the concentration. Screening is required for all Bachelor of Fine Arts Programs (BFA).  Digital Art + Design, Graphic Design and Illustration only offer the BFA while other areas also offer the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts (BS/BA).

While some bulk materials and tools are provided by the department, you need to purchase art supplies and safety equipment for studio courses. Text books are required for some courses.
