ART
Art (B.A.)
Goals: This program of study is designed to (1) develop the
student’s awareness of the capacity for visual expression and creative
synthesis, (2) broaden the student’s understanding of how visual
expression and creativity interact with the whole of culture, and (3)
prepare the student for further study or careers that involve visual
expression and creativity.
Vocational Applications: The Art major is designed to prepare the
student to seek further study or employment in a variety of careers
which involve visual expression and creative synthesis. Those who
are seeking a career in art are offered specific preparation in graphic
design, computer imaging, photography, teaching and studio careers
in drawing and painting.
Requirements: In addition to meeting the liberal arts core
requirements of the University, the student must take 25 credits of
core Art courses and select a 15 credit concentration within the
major. The concentrations are Graphic Design and Fine Arts. Those
with a Graphic Design concentration are strongly advised to arrange
an internship during their junior or senior year. The student must
maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 in courses within the major.
The Art Department regularly assesses its program in a number
of ways to determine how well it is accomplishing its educational
mission. All art majors must participate in a senior exhibit at the time
they graduate. Students will also be expected to leave one work as a
contribution to the permanent collection of the University. In
addition to a senior exhibit, each student must participate in two
faculty evaluations: the Sophomore Review and the Junior Review.
Successful completion of the Junior Review constitutes approval to
enroll in the senior thesis course that will lead to the fulfillment of
the senior exhibit requirement.
In addition to the art courses listed here, students may take other
art courses at Augustana College under the cross-enrollment policy.
