The four-year studio art program encourages individual artistic development by concentrating on studio practice. After a year and a half of work in a variety of studio areas, students will choose a concentration in ceramics, drawing, intermedia, painting, photo-based media, printmaking, sculpture, or open studio which combines more than one of the areas.

In addition to studio courses, Art History courses create a historical and critical context providing skills for students to pursue the careers as listed below.
