and 3D) useful to the fields of medicine, education, research,
and public relations.
The Art and Biology curriculum is designed to coordinate
student training in artistic and scientific skills and knowledge.
The Art curriculum will emphasize advanced perceptual
skills, technical studio skills (traditional and digital media),
visualization of biological information, and working
knowledge of biological processes (in cooperation with the
Biology department). Beyond General Biology and
Chemistry, the Medical Illustration track teaches courses in
cellular and molecular biology and advanced human
physiology and anatomy. The Biological Illustration track will
include advanced human physiology and anatomy as well,
but will add courses in vertebrate biology, botany and
entomology. This is a professional hybrid major that does not
require a minor due to the interdisciplinary requirements of
the major.

B.F.A. –
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is offered in the
Graphic Design program and for the Studio Art concentrations
including: Painting and Drawing, 3D Art (Ceramics/Sculpture),
Photography, and Printmaking. The B.F.A. is considered a
professional degree and an industry/academic standard and
is designed for those art majors who wish to pursue graduate
school to get an M.F.A. degree (Masters of Fine Art). This
degree also provides a large number of studio courses and in-
depth preparation for those going directly into the workforce.
B.F.A. degrees require a senior exhibition and portfolio. For
specific requirements leading to B.F.A. degrees, please refer
to the art department degree plans following this portion of the
catalog.
B.A. –
The Bachelor of Arts degree is offered in Art General
Studio, Art Education, Graphic Design, Medical Illustration
and Biological Illustration. The curriculum provides many of
the same skills that our B.F.A. degree offers, but is designed
for students who have other interests beyond a studio practice
that wish to also pursue a minor or even a double major. B.A.
degree seeking students are not required to have a senior
exhibition but are encouraged to participate. For specific
requirements leading to B.A. degrees, please refer to the art
department degree plans following this portion of the catalog.
Minor:
A minor in art is offered to students pursuing a
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Behavioral Science degree.
Requirements for this minor are listed at the end of degree
plans for Art degrees.
Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees with an art major are required
to have an exhibition of their work during their senior year, and
Bachelor of Arts degree majors are encouraged to participate.
The Department of Art reserves the right to retain any work for
exhibition purposes and for its permanent collection.
