Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Art

The BA/BS in Art is a studio-intensive program emphasizing mentorship and collaboration amongst a cohort of students and faculty.  The Art curriculum is built around five student-centered goals:

  • Challenging and expanding each student’s understanding of the creative process.
  • Providing students with media-specific technical training.
  • Exposing students to a broad range of contemporary and historical art practices as well as a strong background in critical theory.
  • Developing an informed professional presence in the world beyond the campus.
  • Synthesizing the above - creative process, technique, critical inquiry, and professional goals - into a unique studio practice.

Requirements for the BA/BS in Art:


1.


Fulfill baccalaureate degree requirements.

2.


Maintain a 3.0 GPA for all SOU coursework in the major:
