Admission to Degree Programs

Admission to the freshman level in the Department of Visual Arts is obtained through an application process. Special enrollment limitations for degree programs will be applied. Please see the college advisement center for specific details.

The Discipline

The Department of Visual Arts serves five main purposes: (1) preparing competent professionals in various fields of the plastic and graphic arts; (2) preparing qualified designers in problem solving of two- and three-dimensional applications; (3) training historians who can critically appraise works of art; (4) preparing art educators for teaching the visual arts at the elementary and secondary levels; and (5) generally developing the aesthetic sense of individuals by helping them experience art.

Career Opportunities

The art education degree certifies the student as an art specialist, grades K–12, in public or private institutions. Other opportunities for the certified art specialist are in foreign school systems, recreation programs, art museum education programs, and galleries. Students qualify for positions in artist-in-the-schools programs and arts councils and as art consultants/coordinators. The degree also provides a foundation for graduate study leading to advanced degrees.

Most opportunities for careers related to art history exist in teaching at the junior college and university levels. The art history major traditionally prepares students for related graduate study, but it also provides excellent training for many art- and humanities-related careers and provides a solid foundation for entering several professional graduate programs.
The art history major is valuable for those going into any aspect of museum work, including art conservation/restoration, curatorial work, museum research, and museum youth education programs. It is also a useful and often key undergraduate major for careers in art law, architecture, historical restoration, art galleries, auction houses, and art resource/research library studies. Local, state, and federal agencies offer career possibilities related to arts and humanities councils. Combined with one of several other majors, an art history minor helps prepare the student for any number of careers.
Studio art majors are prepared to compete as freelance, self-employed artists, working through galleries, exhibitions, and museums to promote and sell their work. The MFA degree also prepares artists to teach on a college or a university level. Other career opportunities include printmaking, illustration, production crafts, teaching, gallery and museum work, computer art applications, and other related careers.
Design majors are fully prepared for careers in each of the respective disciplines—

Graphic design: Advertising agencies, design studios, in-house design organizations, freelance in mediums such as books, posters, signage, billboards, commercials, corporate identity systems, and logos.

Illustration: In-house or freelance illustration focusing on book jacket, editorial, corporate, or institutional work; advertising, children's books, computer applications, among others.

Interior design: Residential design or specialization, including remodeling, preservation, architectural design, space planning, art and accessory dealing, color consultation, drafting and/or computer-aided design.

Photography: Portraiture; commercial illustration; advertising; fashion; architectural photography; photo-journalism; editorial, stock, industrial, fine art, educational, medical, and travel photography; conservation, marketing and manufacturing, and photofinishing.

Animation and multimedia are new areas for design exploration in the discipline.
