The Art and Art Therapy areas offer programs of study leading to “pre-professional” and professional pursuits in a number of art related fields. These programs are offered in concert within a liberal arts framework and a breadth of foundational and advanced experiences in both two and three dimensional disciplines. Art/Art Therapy majors may become self-employed as artists; may become teachers in public or private schools or recreational programs; may pursue graduate study in an advanced field of visual art or art therapy. The four-year Art Therapy program includes a significant focus in psychology. A minor program is also available in the area of Art Therapy.
Curriculum flexibility, visiting lecturers, visiting artists, field trips, study abroad offerings, apprenticeships and internships make it possible for a continuing program of wide exposure in the arts. Art/Art Therapy majors are waived from Fine Arts General Education Goal.
