FINE ARTS

Art History: Credit requirements for a concentration in art history are the same as those for the art and design concentration, except that only 12 credits are required in the foundation program and the 18-credit specialization area is in art history courses.

Visual Arts: The Visual Arts major (with concentration in fine art, graphic art and digital art) is a professional degree program that provides students with a multidisciplinary approach to the visual arts. It offers practical, experimental, and theoretical course work and the technical skills necessary for careers in art and design, and includes a large liberal arts component that adds to the development of personal expression. Students also may take advantage of special internship opportunities in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area. The program includes a required group of foundation courses, art history courses, critical studies courses, advanced studio courses in the concentration, art electives, portfolio, and senior thesis. During the senior year, students in art and design produce a series of works that are shown in an exhibition at the Paul Robeson Gallery and that also form a portfolio for admission to graduate school or professional job entry.
